Actually we had a snag in the ticketing process. We showed up for our reserved time but the museum was closed for a private event. "You should not have been sold these tickets," they said at the door. Thankfully we were able to come back the next day. Another lady who also showed up was not so lucky. Once we got in, it was a beautiful museum and the audioguide gave us good information. Loved that it was less crowded than other places we visited in Paris.

Les appartements sont magnifiques et les meubles somptueux. Le casque audio est incroyablement bien pensé. Rien à faire qu'à écouter et se laisser porter par l'histoire de ces lieux chargés d'histoires.

We loved how the audio seemed to be right with us. Knew exactly when we were entering a new room. Also very informative and clever. Thank you.

Top 4 reasons you should visit Hotel de la Marine on your trip to Paris

Wondering what to include in your Paris itinerary? We got one, Hotel de la Marine. Be warned! If you’re a history buff or have one in your group, you are going to geek out, and here are four reasons why:

Cauldron of French history

The hotel is steeped in history, as far back as the 18th century. It was originally the royal storage for the Crown's furniture and during the French Revolution, became the headquarters for the French Navy. Recently in 2021, after extensive restoration, it opened as a museum, showcasing its rich history and opulent interiors.

Populated by interesting rooms and whispered stories

Not just about public spaces, the hotel houses secret rooms and hidden passages that once served the French monarchy. When it was originally used by the French monarchy, there were hidden areas essential for managing royal furnishings and treasures. Connecting these rooms were narrow passages allowing for discreet movements between rooms.

Celebration of stunning architecture

A masterpiece of neoclassical architecture from the 18th century, the Hotel de la Marine was designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel. The facade, inspired by the Louvre Palace, is decorated with sculpted medallions and garlands and a distinguishing feature, the loggia.  This passageway is lined with twelve Corinthian Columns, a checkerboard stone floor, and sculpted bas-reliefs.

Storehouse of exquisite art and decor

Housed within the hotel is a stunning collection of period furniture, art, and decorative objects.

Currently ongoing at the hotel is an exhibition of the Al Thani Collection which features an exceptional body of art spanning a long period from antiquity to the present day. With  each room and exhibition telling a story of luxury and craftsmanship, the Hotel de la Marine is a living museum of beauty and history.
