Marquis Faubourg Saint-Honoré

The hotel traces the building to architect Antoine Mazin, who worked for Louis XV. Its account dates three mansions he built on rue d’Anjou to 1720–1730 and identifies number 8 as his own residence. The house became a hotel much later.^[1]

The entrance retains a more specific connection to the old mansion than a general period style. The hotel describes a carved mascaron above the carriage entrance, flanked by lanterns, with further carved faces in the courtyard. That passage from street to courtyard explains the different outlooks still offered by the suites.^[1][2]

Inside, original Louis XVI marble fireplaces and Versailles-pattern flooring are part of the hotel’s account of the surviving fabric. Michele Bönan designed its first Paris hotel interior here, combining those elements with custom furniture, art and books. The current suites use paneled wood, marble and soft upholstery to give the rooms a residential character.^[1][2]

The adaptation extends below the reception rooms: the gym occupies an eighteenth-century vaulted space with exposed stone walls. Its contemporary exercise equipment sits within that older structure, while the hotel’s small collection of 15 suites preserves the scale of a private house.^[3][2]
