Htel Le Bellechasse Paris, France

A Christian Lacroix-designed haute couture hotel in genteel Saint-Germain-des-Prés, on Paris’ artistic Left Bank – includes breakfast, a welcome drink and more

Accommodation

For fashionistas in tune with the elaborate, haute couture pieces of French designer Christian Lacroix, Hotel le Bellechasse is a stylish stay on the River Seine’s Left Bank and as Paris-perfect as it gets. The guest rooms have all the statement-making touches you’d expect from Christian Lacroix: bold colour schemes, extravagant materials and striking aesthetics. Hotel le Bellechasse coolly swiped a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.

Adorned with gold-flocked wallpaper, lavish drapes and plush carpets, Discovery rooms have a queen-size bed, a modish en-suite bathroom with a roll top bath or shower, and thoughtful extras like an iPod docking station, minibar and flatscreen TV. Original rooms come with all this and an even more sumptuous aesthetic – patterned wallpaper, delicate fabrics and ceiling art – while Privilege rooms are ultra-spacious digs and come with luxe design, such as gilded fabrics and statement murals.
