Hôtel Marignan

Presentation

A family-run hotel in the Latin Quarter, in Paris's 5th arrondissement since 1955

Hôtel Marignan occupies a peaceful street in the 5th arrondissement, away from the bustle but at the heart of one of the capital's liveliest districts. The address continues a tradition of hospitality that began in 1955: for three generations, the Keniger family has welcomed travelers from all over the world here. The place has seen writers, artists, and academics come and go, drawn by its proximity to the Sorbonne, the quiet of the Luxembourg Gardens, and the silhouette of the Panthéon. This intellectual dimension remains perceptible without ever being overbearing. The overall atmosphere is that of places with a history: functional, well-maintained furnishings, spaces designed for rest, without excess. This straightforwardness is also reflected in consistent, transparent rates, a guarantee of a good balance between service and price in the historic center of the city.

Thirty rooms, from single to family rooms for up to five people, with private or shared bathrooms

The hotel offers thirty rooms suited to every type of stay: solo getaway, business trip, or family travel. Their décor is simple and contemporary, in soft tones with clean lines. Some have private bathrooms, while others share a shower and toilet among a limited number of occupants, preserving privacy while allowing real pricing flexibility. Configurations range from single rooms to those accommodating up to five people, and some open onto a balcony overlooking the neighborhood rooftops or the quiet street below. All benefit from free high-speed Internet access.

Multilingual reception, continental breakfast, and tourist information on site

At reception, a discreet and attentive team welcomes you in several languages and assists you with both bookings and sightseeing suggestions. A tourist information library is also available to help you plan your days without wasting time. Each morning, a continental breakfast is served in a simple, bright room, with a selection of classic products to start the day well — a moment that can also become a quiet break before heading out to explore the area.

Equipped kitchen and free washing machine for extended stays and families

For travelers seeking independence or longer stays, the hotel provides a kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, oven, and microwave. This service, rare in Paris in this category of accommodation, offers great freedom, especially for families and visitors with offbeat schedules. A washing machine is also available free of charge, a real comfort for travelers on the move or staying for a long time.

Metro less than 200 meters away, RER, buses, and public parking, PMR-accessible room on request

Accessibility is one of the property's strengths: the nearest metro station is less than 200 meters away, as is a public parking lot. Buses and RER trains complete the transport options and make it easy to reach all of Paris's arrondissements as well as the major train stations. The building does not have an elevator, but a room accessible to guests with reduced mobility can be provided on request.

On foot from the hotel: Luxembourg Gardens, the Sorbonne, Cluny Museum, and Saint-Germain-des-Prés

From Hôtel Marignan, much of the Left Bank can be explored on foot. In just a few minutes, you can reach the shaded paths of the Luxembourg Gardens, prized for their calm and elegance; Notre-Dame, the Panthéon, and the Sorbonne are also within walking distance. The Cluny Museum, devoted to the Middle Ages, is a must-see in the area, as is the Arab World Institute, whose exhibitions and panoramic terrace are well worth a visit. Heading toward Saint-Germain-des-Prés, you will find art galleries, antiquarian bookshops, and iconic cafés, the Odéon theatre and its quality performances, as well as the Latin Quarter Cinémathèque for lovers of classic films. More contemporary, the Collège des Bernardins hosts exhibitions, concerts, and lectures in a remarkable architectural setting.
