The hôtel de la Marine (also known as the hôtel du Garde-Meuble) is a building on place de la Concorde in Paris<ref=hôtel>"Hôtel de la Marine". Centre des monuments nationaux.</ref>, to the east of Rue Royale. It was built between 1757 and 1774 on what was then known as place Louis XV, with a façade by Ange-Jacques Gabriel, Premier architecte du Roi<ref=hôtel/> and designer of the square. The identical building to its west now houses the Hôtel de Crillon.
The building works were led by Jacques-Germain Soufflot. Its two pediments contain allegories of Magnificence and Felicity by Guillaume II Coustou and Michel-Ange Slodtz. It originally belonged wholly to the crown, at first being used by the Garde-Meuble, whose galleries were open to the public from 9 am to 1 pm on the first Tuesday of each month between Easter and All Saints' Day. It also housed a chapel, a library, workshops, stables and many apartments, including those of the intendant of the Garde-Meuble – at first Pierre Élisabeth de Fontanieu (1767–1784) then Marc-Antoine Thierry de Ville-d'Avray (1784–1792).
