Along with hotel O, the handcrafted boutique property is one of the newest projects from hoteliers Philippe Vaurs and Christophe Sauvage (Seven Hotel, One by Five). The 27 rooms at Hotel Crayon are bursting with individually restored, antique furniture pieces. with walls saturated in bright color, each room is more unique than the next. And how is this for exclusivity: the exact location is still confidential. Word on the street is that the hotel is very close to da Vinci's Joconde (as in, about a five minute stroll from the Louvre). The homey space promises guesthouse intimacy and an artist's haven for people-watching, stellar views and more. So it's the perfect spot to let your hair down and unwind before les grandes vacances.
