Bohemian color-block curio
Designed like an eccentric artist residence, common spaces pair saturated color blocking with flea-market treasures and a relaxed, residential warmth.
“Colorful guestrooms are like fantasy bedrooms, with retro-chic style, graphic illustrated wallpaper, antique furnishings, and vintage decorative touches.”

What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Every piece furniture was hand-picked from a Parisian flea market, from the Louis XVI desk to the Louis Philippe mirror, resulting in a feel that’s warm and eclectic—just like a private home would be.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in the 1st Arrondissement, the quiet street sits a short walk from the Palais-Royal arcades and the Louvre Museum.
The rooms
Rooms feature graphic illustrated wallpaper, vintage rotary phones, and repurposed antique desks, with smart mirrors maximizing the compact footprints.
At the table
Crystal decanters hang above the long wooden table, where morning breakfast turns into an honesty wine bar by evening.
How it began
Opened in 2014, this boutique address was conceived as a bohemian artist retreat themed subtly around French regional wine culture.
