The Hotel

The Hotel Saint-Marc was built in 1791 on the site of the private residence of the Duc de Choiseul and was one of the most magnificent properties in Paris during the 18th century. It extended from rue Saint-Marc to the ramparts of Paris, and had three large gardens. Some of the hotel rooms overlook the Salle Favart, Opera Comique that was constructed during the same period.

The illustrious Duc de Choiseul was known for his political genius, scathing spirit and his love of art. Superficial and frivolous, and often even shameless, he passed on to prosperity a number of his scintillating repartees, including ""j'aime mon plaisir à la folie"" (I love my pleasure madly""). It was also in this house that the solemn protest was drafted that triggered the Revolution of 1830.

Our hotel and Dimore Studio share the same inspiring vision of a colorful, elegant and bold Art Deco residence. With this objective in mind, the architects, Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci, entrusted artists and craftspeople with a unique talent and expertise to create paintings, fabrics and furniture for our hotel.

Here, as in all its previous signature projects, Dimore Studio interprets memories and creates dreams, crossing the boundaries between art and design, fashion and architecture. For the Hotel Saint-Marc, Dimore proposed a new visual journey and an emotional alchemy, based on a design combining tradition with invention, historical references with innovation. It is a place where an esthetic flourishes beyond any boundaries, where uniqueness enriches harmony, in an evocative and powerful atmosphere.

As our guests enter the lobby, they are welcomed by a subtle alliance of black and white marble, powder pink walls and rich sumptuous velvet, which create a sense of intimacy and warmth. This softly muted atmosphere can be found on all the floors where noble materials, deep color palettes and graphic Art Deco lines elegantly abound.
