What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the Hôtel Graffalgar has gone all the way, giving local artists a free hand to decorate its rooms in any way they saw fit.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The central train station is a five-minute walk away, and Petite France's half-timbered canal houses sit just beyond.
The rooms
Thirty-eight artists were given free rein, covering bedroom walls in original street murals, graphic illustrations, or optical art.
Restaurant
La Graffateria
Wooden booths fill with morning pastries and plant-forward weekend brunch, giving way to evening cocktails and sharing plates.
How it began
Former actor Vincent Faller returned to take over his family's hospitality trade, gutting an 1875 apartment building next door.
