No. 5 – Le Grand Mazarin – Paris, France
 Bienvenue à Le Grand Mazarin. Tucked away in the Marais, the oldest district of Paris, Le Grand Mazarin offers an elegant retreat where Parisian extravagance meets colorful sophistication. This newly opened 5-star hotel was conceived by the illustrious family owned Maisons Pariente group and blends classic French grandeur with contemporary flair. Inspired by the rich tradition of Parisian literary salons, Le Grand Mazarin’s interior designer, Martin Brudnizki, envisioned the hotel as a modern-day gathering place. These salons were where the great minds of the Enlightenment sparked revolutionary ideas and where figures like Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso exchanged inspiration with Gertrude Stein in the 1920s. Le Grand Mazarin captures this spirit with its timeless charm and eccentric design, setting the stage for a memorable stay in the City of Lights.
