Scene
Creative, artistic boutique
The minimalist front desk, fashioned of tiered, multi-colored wood, contrasts with the '60s-style armchairs of the breakfast and sitting area immediately facing it, as well as with the undulating lines of bouquets of decorated dried branches facing the entrance to the hotel. Graphic, black-and-white carpeting lines hallways hung with original paintings and illuminated by recessed lighting. The atmosphere is creative and artistic, but also quiet and peaceful.
Location
On a quiet residential side street near the République neighborhood
The République neighborhood is situated slightly to the northeast of central Paris; the center is considered to be the Place de la République, which has recently been converted into Paris’ largest pedestrian square. The popular shopping street Vieille du Temple, chock-a-block with design stores, is a 15-minute walk. The hotel itself is situated a few blocks away on the quiet Rue de Malte, which guests have noted is divided into three sections; Hotel Le Mareuil is located on the middle strip. While the hotel can arrange for an airport transfer with advance notice, those willing to take transportation can opt for the metro at Oberkampf and transfer to the RER at Auber (approximately 1 hour total trip).
