Hotel du Petit Moulin, Paris – small and intimate
A playful 17-room former bakery, the Petit Moulin is well situated (in the Haut-Marais) for shopping at some of Paris’s more interesting boutiques. The interiors are by the never knowingly understated Christian Lacroix. Some rooms are lush and baroque, others startlingly geometric and bold, all a seductive riot of colour and contrasting styles. Small, quirky, crepuscular and flirtatious, it’s a perfect Parisian hideaway.
