Christian Lacroix is beloved for his love of wild color combinations and theatrical design, so it should come as no surprise that the fashion designer created a sensation when he did the interiors for this new hotel in the northern Marais district.

We only spent one night in this night hotel but we had a fantastic time, Laurent the concierge was excellent and probably the most helpful guy you will ever come across. I asked him about the local galleries on arrival, an hour later he had composed... more
