Hôtel National des Arts & Métiers – A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Paris
At the crossroads of the Marais and Montorgueil districts, the Hôtel National des Arts & Métiers stands out as a unique destination for travelers seeking an authentic Parisian art de vivre. Designed by Raphael Navot, this elegant four-star hotel features 66 rooms and suites with a refined, organic aesthetic where raw materials and custom furnishings blend in perfect harmony. Some rooms offer balconies or terraces for a peaceful wake-up above the rooftops of Paris.
Conceived as a true living space, the hotel welcomes both curious visitors and business travelers drawn to the creative, fashion-forward energy of the 3rd arrondissement—one of Paris’s most dynamic neighborhoods for design and innovation.
On the ground floor, Ristorante National celebrates the Italian art of living with warmth, generosity, and authenticity. Whether beneath its dramatic glass ceiling or on the leafy terrace facing Place Saint-Martin, the restaurant serves seasonal Mediterranean cuisine in a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. As night falls, the ambiance softens: dimmed lights, lively conversations, and dishes made for sharing make for a chic and memorable dining experience.
Tucked discreetly behind a hidden door, Herbarium invites you into a lush, intimate setting where botanical mixology takes center stage. Signature cocktails highlight floral, herbal, and spiced notes, crafted with precision by passionate mixologists. On weekends, the mood comes alive with carefully curated DJ sets blending soul, funk, and deep house.
When the warm weather returns, the hotel’s rooftop bar becomes one of Paris’s best-kept secrets. Perched on the 7th floor, it offers sweeping views of the city skyline and magical sunsets—a perfect setting to enjoy a cocktail between sky and rooftops.
More than just a hotel, the National is an immersion into a Paris that’s inspiring, vibrant, and timeless.
