Boutique hotel in the Marais
Presentation
Practical information
'Room designer', Christian Lacroix has dressed this intimate hotel in the Marais.
In this district of Paris, where the street names evoke the beautiful French regions, Brittany, Saintonge, Perche, Poitou, two authentic 17th-century houses have hosted the Hotel du Petit Moulin since late 2004. One of them housed the oldest bakery in Paris dating back to the time of Henri IV. Its very pretty facade, renovated in 1900, has remained unchanged to this day. Classified as a Historic Monument, like its sign, it is well known to the neighborhood's inhabitants.
This part of the Marais was once a semi-industrial area, with many tanneries and men's clothing wholesalers; as a nod to history, it is here that the designer chose to sign the interior decoration of this intimate 4-star hotel by creating 17 unique atmospheres for the 17 rooms.
To decorate them according to their light, ceiling height, and view, Christian Lacroix played with beams, terracotta tiles, colorful fabrics, old-fashioned wallpaper, leather, plain canvases, and contemporary furniture.
Each room corresponds to an approach to the neighborhood: rustic Marais, vintage, design Marais, or more playful.
From the Junior Suite nestled under the beams of the 4th and top floor, there is a lovely view of the rooftops of Paris.
"One room might therefore have cornices, consoles, and moldings, while another is more pop or more rustic. Some are a little Grand Genre, others a little kitsch or a little zen to symbolize all the facets of the Marais, from toile de Jouy to sixties design," explains Christian Lacroix.
..:: The bonus ::.. free access to the Spa (fitness, treatment room, hammam, jacuzzi) of the Hotel le Pavillon de la Reine (nearby Place des Vosges, a 10-minute walk away) and bicycle loans.
