"Making a film and opening a hotel incorporate similar acts of storytelling, muses Jean-Pierre Marois, a former filmmaker turned hotelier, responsible for transforming the iconic 1980s nightclub Les Bains Douches in Paris, often referred to as the 'European Studio 54' (formerly a public bath house in 1885) into what is now Les Bains Paris, a culture-filled five-star boutique hotel in the heart of the lively Marais neighborhood." - Monica Mendal
