Minimalism is for pussies
Inaugurated in 1612 under the name of Place Royale, the Place des Vosges was built on Henri IV's initiative who died before the works were even completed.
Once the Place was ready, Le Marais soon became the Mecca of high Society gatherings with the likes of Mme de Sévigné, Racine, La Fontaine and Molière. After a lengthy decline, Le Marais is now shining anew.
The hotel, slightly set back from the famous Place, was coined its name in honour of Anne of Austria who once stayed in the wing standing between the hotel and the Place des Vosges.
