Experimental Marais
Paris, France · Experimental Group · Core Luxury
Experimental Marais occupies a former Orange telecoms building on Rue du Temple, a street named for the Knights Templar who held the surrounding land in the 14th century, and reopened in March 2025 after Experimental Group bought the hotel for 53 million euros. Designer Tristan Auer, who dressed the building's previous life as the gothic-religious-themed Sinner Paris in 2019, returned to rework the same 43 rooms into a subtler take on French style for the group's first Marais address.
