The first Parisian address of Maisons Pariente is opening October 2022
New York City, NY, March 21, 2022 -- Maisons Pariente has chosen a neighborhood beloved by Parisians and travelers from around the world: Le Marais. A new and unique address for the collection to expand, like a luxurious and serene interlude in the heart of the hustle and bustle. An unexpected and endearing place that reflects the values of Maisons Pariente through an original hotel story, Le Grand Mazarin is in affinity with an exceptional location.
Just a stone's throw from the Hôtel de Ville near the Seine at the corner of rue de la Verrerie and rue des Archives, Le Grand Mazarin invites you to experience Paris intensely as it expresses how Le Marais reveals the cultural history of the capital. In this mythical old Paris, once aristocratic, in love with arts and literature, strolling through the streets is an infinite promise of charming surprises and unusual discoveries. Both visionary and cosmopolitan, Le Marais has crossed the centuries to become the epicenter of new trends. A lively and avant-garde district, sparkling with creativity, vibrant by day and by night, Le Marais represents the art of living joyfully hedonistic and culturally progressive.
Inspired and elegant, the décor is imagined by internationally renowned Swedish interior designer Martin Brudnizki. Le Grand Mazarin revisits French classicism with a breath of refined modernity. In the 61 rooms, including 11 suites, the design plays with discrepancies in a virtuous way to create a grandiose universe that that is both whimsical and deliciously warm.Le Grand Mazarin ground floor bar rendering.
“I love the concept of the literary salon of yesteryear and this was one of the main sources of inspiration when designing Le Grand Mazarin. We wanted the hotel to feel as though it has always been a part of Le Marais’ landscape so we sought inspiration from the great houses of the aristocratic era, where figures from literature, art and music gathered in sumptuous residences, exchanging ideas and thoughts. Our concept of Le Grand Mazarin was to reignite this ambience for the modern day, where guests feel as though they have arrived home and have the freedom to express themselves.” says Martin Brudnizki. An architectural concept highlighted by the craftsmanship of The Living Heritage Company.
Everything has been brought together to make Le Grand Mazarin the essential destination for a unique Parisian experience, at any time of day: a delightful restaurant with continuous service, a surprising bar where each evening is a new experience, an extraordinary swimming pool, and excellent service that is always attentive yet discreet. "Le Grand Mazarin is a hotel that is above all for Parisians, a place where they can meet. It's a real bias that you won't find anywhere else. It will be the first urban hotel in our collection to embody our DNA, the Maisons Pariente spirit of simple, warm hotel luxury and sincere, generous service excellence. We imagined Le Grand Mazarin as a place to live with multiple influences, a place to meet and share, a showcase of elegance where refinement sublimates the mix of styles and eras with fun." says Leslie Kouhana, President, and Kimberley Cohen, Artistic Director and Co-Founder of Maisons Pariente. With Le Grand Mazarin, the spirit of Maison Pariente is embodied in a modern vision of Parisian luxury.
We look forward to sharing additional assets with you in the coming months for this exciting new opening. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out for any additional information or if you would like to speak with the Pariente family directly.
