HIDDEN COOLNESS: L'hotel du Petit Moulin



Christian Lacroix is one of those names, which instantly turn up in our minds when we think of Parisian Chic, but he’s so much more. Besides being involved in a number of offbeat projects he also dreamed up the interior of an intimate luxury hotel in the historic Marais, nestled right in the heart of Paris.



Hotel du Petit Moulin, is much unlike the typical Parisian royal palaces. It is located in a totally renovated XVIIth century building hidden away on a small side street. The original Boulangerie (pastry shop) entrance was preserved and gives the place a uniquely coquettish allure. Pompous and snobby hotel crowds are nowhere to be found, which makes it a perfect refuge for those who cherish their privacy. According to the designer, the hotels’ unusually configured 17 rooms inspired him to decorate each in a unique manner and tone, mixing pieces and furniture from different styles and periods. Lacroix dreamed up the ultimate Fashionista getaway while conserving a refreshing serenity. Perfect nest for the subtler modern kind of snob ;)
Rumor has it that Lacroix will oversee few more hidden treats as this one.
