The very heart of Paris’s Marais quarter is home to a completely new signature in hotels. Like a codename, or a password, Dupond-Smith is the key that lets you in to a haven of classic elegance, one that is both unique and custom designed. The eight bedrooms and suites exude the atmosphere of a “select club”, carefully shielded from inquisitive outsiders – a model of intimate refinement where guests know that they can enjoy complete discretion and one of today’s greatest luxuries: choosing to be incognito.It is the ultimate retreat, whose existence is highly confidential. A well-kept secret, known only to insiders. Those in the know mention it only in quiet whispers, in the presence of like-minded connoisseurs of true luxury – luxury that states its case without ostentation, and stands out from the rest without ever drawing attention to itself.
