“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.”
