Experimental Marais: Where Parisian Cool Meets Gothic Glam
Neo-Gothic drama, vintage edge, and a serious sense of style in the heart of the Marais
Design That Breaks the Rules
Originally opened as SINNER and reimagined by the visionary Tristan Auer, Experimental Marais is anything but conventional. With stained glass accents, velvet drapes, sculptural lighting, and ecclesiastical arches, the interiors feel more like a surrealist art collector’s sanctuary than a hotel. The aesthetic? Gothic chic meets Parisian edge—with just the right dose of irreverence.
Rooms with Soul and Swagger
Each of the 43 rooms has its own identity, exuding moody glamour and layered personality. Rich textures, custom furniture, and curated curiosities create a vibe that’s both luxe and lived-in. It’s a sensorial world, where heavy drapes meet soft lighting, and the minibar looks like something out of a Wes Anderson fantasy.
Dining Under the Dome
The hotel’s signature restaurant, Temple & Chapon, sits beneath a glass ceiling that feels part chapel, part supper club. The menu leans French chophouse with bold twists—decadent, stylish, and totally in sync with the setting. Whether you’re dining solo or with a crew, it’s an experience that feels indulgent without being performative.
A Spa Beneath the Surface
Tucked beneath the hotel lies a Roman-style spa and serene indoor pool—a moody, candlelit haven that feels worlds away from the buzz above. Inspired by ancient rituals but rendered with modern restraint, it’s the ultimate cool-down after a day spent wandering the Marais.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Experimental Marais is pure Paris attitude—bold, sensual, and dripping in aesthetic confidence. It’s a place for design lovers, culture seekers, and curious souls who crave something a little less predictable. Moody but magnetic, it doesn’t follow trends—it makes them.
