Description

Inspired by the building’s history and Marie Antoinette, the interior seduces the senses blending romance and aristocracy with a nod to mischief. Each of our 50 bedrooms is unique! From the canopy bed, the colors of each bathroom and the delicate tile work, guests are invited to enjoy a relaxing night in our handmade linen from Brittany. Pure bliss, a home away from home.
In the heart of Paris, just a stone's throw away from the Opera and close to the Louver, and postcard streets from Le Marais, our hotel provides a tranquil escape from the bustling Grands Boulevards. The prestigious Grands Magasins are a mere 15 minutes away on foot, and the serene Tuileries Gardens can be reached in 20 minutes. Conveniently, the Grands Boulevards metro station is right in front of the entrance.

The neighborhood is vibrant with cultural life, home to numerous theaters and bars with terraces. One can find the Bourse district with its passages cherished by the Surrealists, the Sentier with its remarkable pool of entrepreneurs, the Faubourg Montmartre with its theaters, the Faubourg Poissonnière with its trendy restaurants, and Strasbourg Saint-Denis with its sleepless streets. Just steps away, Le Grand Rex cinema stands as a stunning example of Art Deco, enhancing the cultural allure surrounding our hotel.

A boutique 4-star address with Parisian character

The Grands Boulevards Experimental is a 4-star boutique hotel housed in a restored 18th-century building, where original architectural details meet a playful, contemporary aesthetic. The atmosphere is warm, design-led and welcoming, particularly suited to LGBTQ+ travellers who appreciate independent boutique hospitality over standardised chains.

The mood throughout is intimate and sociable, with lounge areas, a charming courtyard and a bar that draws both guests and a fashionable Parisian crowd. It is the kind of address that feels lived-in and genuinely Parisian, rather than impersonal.

The Grands Boulevards: theatre, shopping and easy access to the Marais

The hotel sits in the lively 2nd arrondissement, on the Grands Boulevards themselves, a historic stretch known for its theatres, brasseries and covered passages. The neighbourhood blends everyday Parisian life with cultural energy, and offers excellent walking access to Opéra, Palais Royal and the department stores around Galeries Lafayette.

The Marais, Paris's historic LGBTQ+ district with its bars, cafés and shops, is just a short walk or a few metro stops away. Several metro lines and easy connections to the major train stations make it a practical base for both short city breaks and longer stays.

Rooms, bar and dining

Rooms are designed with a refined, residential feel, mixing soft fabrics, custom furniture and considered lighting. According to the room category, guests may enjoy higher ceilings, courtyard views or more spacious layouts, all in keeping with the hotel's boutique signature.

The on-site bar is a destination in its own right, known for its cocktail culture and convivial evening atmosphere, while the dining offer brings a contemporary take on French and Mediterranean flavours. Attentive multilingual staff and a discreet, inclusive service style round out the experience.

Ideal for a stylish Paris city break

The Grands Boulevards Experimental is well suited to LGBTQ+ couples planning a romantic weekend, friends exploring Paris's cultural scene, or solo travellers seeking a design-forward yet welcoming base. Its location, ambience and 4-star comfort make it a confident choice for travellers who want a true Parisian boutique experience.
