Parisian Maximalist

Where: 29/31 rue du Poitou, Paris, France, 75003

Designer's moonlighting as hoteliers is all the rage these days, so it should come as no surprise that Hôtel du Petit Moulin was desinged by French fashionista Christian Lacroix.

Lacroix was tasked with recreating a 17 room hotel in the hip Marais section, and he managed to transform his thick notebooks of fashion sketches into unique room designs.

Lacroix didn't forget many hotel must-haves along the way--air conditioning, personal safes, hair-dryers, a WIFI Internet connection, LCD flat screens, and a mini-bar are all part of the experience.

Not bad for 17th century property that use to serve as a boulangerie. However, don't go there expecting everything to be brand new, water tanks with pull chains are in some bathrooms.

Rooms start at £123.
