Maison Breguet
Ode to industry
Maker’s mile
Former washing machine factory Maison Breguet spins off its retro-industrial roots and the creativity of Paris’ 11th arrondissement. London-based design studio Sagrada were behind the transformation, introducing bespoke furniture, Pierre Frey wallpaper and chevron-patterned Carrara marble to the upper floors. Downstairs, the workshop floor has become a light-flooded restaurant with a vaulted ceiling, greenery-girdled patio and a cocktail list created by globe-trotting mixologist Nicolas de Soto. Faithful to the spirit of Le Marais, the Maison hosts talks and workshops with Parisian artists, designers, writers and tastemakers, too.

Our Favourite Rooms
There are no disappointing rooms here, but we’d go for a Deluxe Room or higher for the extra breathing space. All rooms have handsome hardwood floors, large windows, industrial-style lamps and retro furniture. Bathrooms have either a bathtub or a walk-in shower clad in Carrara marble tiles. If there’s more than two of you, the Little House Deluxe Suite is worth considering. Styled like a private apartment, this parquet-floored pied à terre has two spacious bedrooms, a living area and a private patio.
Poolside
There’s a small indoor pool in the spa area.
Spa
The hotel has a 24-hour fitness studio, hammam and a treatment room, where you can get jet-lag busting massages and facials. Sessions can also take place in the privacy of your own room. There’s an extra charge for sessions before 9am and after 9pm.
Packing Tips
Pare your wash kit down to the essentials – the Maison Margiela bath products will more than satisfy.

Hotel Restaurant
The restaurant is where the building’s industrial bones really come into their own. The bar and dining room are under a pitched glass roof supported by curving steel beams, a design that adds height and daylight. Retro-industrial furnishings complement the structure overhead and an open kitchen adds a touch of theatre. The menu has a mod-European lean, with a focus on first-rate produce, not least the veg. Try the artichoke salad with barley, fig & grilled halloumi to start, followed by the monkfish, served with crab, potatoes, fennel and tomatoes.
Hotel Bar
The marble-topped bar is the centrepiece of the restaurant, finished with rattan panels, two tiers of brass shelves and stools fashioned from iron and saffron-toned leather. It’s a favourite with locals, not least because the drinks list was put together by master mixologist Nicolas de Soto, who has visited 95 countries in the name of research. If you like your cocktails punchy, ask for the Vieux Pote, made with Pierre Ferrand cognac, coffee, red vermouth, peaty whisky and botanicals. For something more floral, try the Queen is Back, made with Citadelle gin, earl grey tea, fleur d’oranger and prosecco.

Trains

Haussmann’s Paris was designed for strolling, and the Métro has you covered when it’s too far to walk. If you do bring a car, there’s public parking nearby for €35 a day.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
With the alluring 11th on the doorstep, you’ll want to be fighting fit if you’re to make the most of the local divertissements. Supercharge your morning with a session in the hammam or sauna, then swing by reception to book in a massage for late afternoon – there’s no better remedy if you’ve been flitting up and down the Marais all day. For lounging and libations, head to the greenery-girdled patio (a luxury in central Paris) or the vaulted bar, serving cocktails dreamt up by globe-trotting mixologist Nicolas de Soto.
On Thursdays and Sundays, the Marché Richard Lenoir (also known as Bastille Market) gets under way. It’s a minute’s walk from the hotel and one of the largest produce markets in Paris, making it an excellent place to stock up on saucisse, cheeses, patisseries and fruit. If the weather is in your favour, take your picnic to Place des Vosges, the oldest planned square in the city. The square – and the regal houses that line it – attracted the fashionable elite in the 17th and 18th centuries, cementing the Marais’ reputation as a haunt of nobility. Former residents include writer Victor Hugo and lady of letters Madame de Sevigné. For space, silence and monumental masonry, stroll westward to the Cimetière du Père Lachaise, resting place of Edith Piaf, Frederic Chopin and Oscar Wilde. For shopping, try the southern end of Rue Oberkampf and Rue Charlot, populated with the ateliers and boutiques of the next generation of Parisian designers.
