Hotel Tag: 5 Stars

The Hôtel de Joséphine Bonaparte, JoBo to those in the know, opened this charming residence, with its lounges and 24 rooms, to all would-be Parisians – for a night or a longer stay, a cup of tea, an evening drink, or even a whole night of cocktails and delicious nibbles. Hidden behind a flamboyant courtyard, Hôtel de JoBo is the intimate and delightful escape after a long journey, a day of strolling, visiting museums, and fabulous shopping to be found in this multi-faceted part of old Paris.

Born Marie Josèphe Rose Tascher de la Pagerie, her lover and soon to be second husband Bonaparte renamed Rose de Beauharnais “Joséphine”. In today’s world, Joséphine Bonaparte would probably be known as JoBo on Instagram and in celebrity magazines. She is the fantasized inspiration behind this hotel. Who better than JoBo, the contemporary alter ego of Joséphine Bonaparte, to represent French elegance with charming frivolity? As a backlash to the Revolution and the Reign of Terror, the fashionable aristocratic subculture “The Incredibles and The Marvelous” (Les Incroyables et les Merveilleuses) decadent mantra was to live life to its fullest.

Joséphine, dressed or rather undressed like a Greek goddess, was amongst their trend setters. Her sense of style was admired by all. But this great seductress also had a more down-to-earth secret garden: at Malmaison, just outside Paris, she had 240 species of roses from all over the world planted… roses for Rose, the little girl that she had once been, who had run barefoot in her Martinique hometown of Trois-Îlets. To appease her nostalgia, a heated greenhouse for tropical plants was built.

La Chambre du Marais, or the Chamber of the Marsh, is located on the Rue des Archives in the center of Paris, an ideal location for exploring the historical Marais district. Just a few minutes walk from the hotel brings you to the Picasso Museum, the Georges Pompidou Center, and numerous attractions, art galleries, and shops. The building was build in the 18th century but was reconstructed by Aurore Vachette and stylishly designed by Philippe Jégou and Aurore Vachette de Lesquen.

Inside the hotel, there are nineteen spacious and authentically decorated rooms where guests can stay and enjoy the hotel’s top class services. At the heart of the hotel, you will find Bar del la Veuve, a cozy lounge opened to both hotel guests and locals from the neighborhood. In the morning, the bar serves breakfast from 7 am until 12 pm, perfect for guests wanting to sleep in a little later. From noon until 2 am, you can enjoy a cocktail or choose from the bar’s fine selection of wines.

The hotel’s excellent reviews are usually what draw people to La Chambre du Marais as many people enjoy the smaller size of the hotel, the friendly hotel staff, and all the great services the hotel provides.
