Maison Proust Hotel & Spa La Mer

Hotel description

In the Marais, the Maison Proust Hotel & Spa La Mer is a five-star boutique hotel in Paris where the Belle Époque comes to life amid marbles, Córdoba leather, and delicate literary nods. Designed by the renowned interior designer Jacques Garcia, the hotel is a living tribute to Marcel Proust: each suite, every lamp, and each molding evoke the universe of the author and his fascination with art and Parisian society.

More than just accommodation, it serves as a stage for the senses and offers discreet luxury. The spa, created in collaboration with La Mer, features a pool and treatment rooms, while the cuisine pays homage to literary salons, and the bar is inspired by the great classics of literature. It invites travelers to pause, reflect, and be enveloped by the timeless charm of the Marais.

Spa La Mer

The Spa at Maison Proust, the result of over a year of labor and the craftsmanship of artisans from the Moroccan royal palaces, is a tribute to the art of well-being. Each room unveils arabesques and geometries that blend marble, Moroccan tiles, and tadelakt, awakening the senses even before any treatment begins.

Beneath a wooden ceiling that plays with shadows, the light from lanterns reflects off the ten-meter pool and marble floors, while subtle aromas and the gentle murmur of a fountain create a symphony of colors and ancestral materials. Three treatment rooms and a steam bath complete this sanctuary of calm.

The collaboration with La Mer offers an experience of total exclusivity and uniqueness, where discretion and elegance come together to provide selective and sophisticated care.

Sleep among art

At Maison Proust, art becomes part of the stay: each room and suite is adorned with original works by artists such as Jacques-Émile Blanche, Giovanni Boldini, Jean Béraud, Eduardo León Garrido, and Jean Cocteau, creating an environment where every night is spent immersed in their world. Guests can choose the room inspired by the artist they feel most drawn to and let themselves be enveloped.

The corridors lead to 23 rooms and suites that pay homage to the figures who inhabited Marcel Proust’s universe. Each floor has its own theme: the first three celebrate iconic figures of Parisian society, the fourth honors painters, the fifth is dedicated to authors, and the sixth recreates Proust’s own apartments.

Each room carefully combines paintings, fabrics, and color palettes that reflect the essence of the person or artist inspiring its design, creating a cultural and aesthetic refuge where literature and painting engage in perfect harmony.

The Salons of Maison Proust

At Maison Proust, the salons recreate the lively spirit of Belle Époque gatherings, masterfully described by Marcel Proust. The first salon, with its impressive fireplace adorned with atlantes and its bar, invites guests to enjoy cocktails, small plates, and sweets in a setting of warm woods and draperies that enclose discreet conversations and secrets.

The Winter Garden, marked by elegant columns, offers a space to play backgammon, chess, or dominoes, to read, or simply to relax while admiring paintings that capture the grace of the ladies and dandies of the era.

The library, the architectural jewel of the salons, houses a collection of books that evoke Marcel Proust’s universe, including manuscripts and first editions. Its golden, starry vault recalls the brightness of the rotunda of the Opéra Garnier, reflecting the refinement of Parisian aristocratic salons.
