Seated dinners of up to 65 guests, cocktails of up to 130, business lunches and late-night parties can be organized at Le Grand Mazarin, a 61-room hotel in the Marais, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris. Part or all of the hotel's public spaces can be hired, and each one can be rearranged for the event.
Seminars and company events
The hotel has no plenary room, so it suits a different kind of company event: a client dinner, a product launch, a team celebration or a lunch with partners after a meeting elsewhere in the city. The bar takes informal meetings and drinks after an event, and Le Petit Bazar can carry the evening on late into the night. La Grande Manufacture, the hotel's workshop program, adds creative sessions for groups who want a hands-on activity.
Rooms and capacities
Boubalé, the restaurant, seats 65 for dinner and takes 130 for a cocktail. The Winter Garden, filled with daylight and plants, seats 35 or welcomes 50 standing; its twelve painted windows by the artist Sophia Pega open onto imaginary worlds. The bar seats 28 and takes 40 standing. Le Petit Bazar, a hidden speakeasy with its own bar, seats 38 and holds 65 standing, and can be booked privately for a party. Used together, these spaces allow a cocktail in one room and dinner in another.
Accommodation
Le Grand Mazarin has 54 rooms and 7 suites, enough to house speakers, a management team or guests from out of town on the night of the event. The hotel belongs to the Maisons Pariente collection.
Catering
All food and drink come from the hotel. Boubalé serves Mediterranean cooking with Levantine and Turkish influences, and the events team describes its menus as Eastern European inspiration applied to French cooking. The bar serves cocktails and stages cabaret evenings, and the hotel reports that Forbes named it the most eco-responsible bar of 2023.
History and setting
The interiors are by the designer Martin Brudnizki, with patterned fabrics, color and art throughout. The hotel stands at the corner of rue de la Verrerie and rue des Archives, in a district of old town houses, galleries and shops, a few minutes on foot from the Hôtel de Ville and the Centre Pompidou.
Getting there
The address is 17 rue de la Verrerie, 75004 Paris. Hôtel de Ville metro station, on lines 1 and 11, is a short walk away, and Châtelet–Les Halles connects to the RER lines serving Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports. The hotel advises booking early for busy periods.
