“Enjoy the riot of colour, pattern and fresco in a remarkable Christian Lacroix-designed hotel. Fun and frivolous, the rooms are comfortable and unique. Enjoy breakfast on the terrace or in your room, before stepping out and exploring the city. A few steps from the Musee d'Orsay. Good value.”

Hotel review

Not content with transforming the Petit Moulin, fashion icon Christian Lacroix has taken a one-time chain hotel in a conventional townhouse and fashioned another fanciful place to stay. Inspired by art from Roman times on, his exhilarating design combines exotic murals, with vibrant colours and patterns. The brilliant yellow, frescoed reception sets the tone, which carries on into the bedrooms. Here you might find a ceiling filled with butterflies or a giant sun bursting over one wall. An object lesson in what can be done with an ordinary space and boxy rooms.

"Interiors by Christian Lacroix, and the fashion designer's elaborate, flamboyant aesthetic is in evidence. Trompe l'oeil wallpaper and gold satin antique-style chairs combine with black marble and flowers."
