"An elegant hotel, dating back to the late nineteenth century, with faux marble columns in the reception area and airy, high-ceilinged rooms."
Fodor's
"A few of Paris' most prestigious palace hotels face the Tuileries... while the Brighton sits on the same prime real estate... it offers visitors a privileged stay for a fraction of the price." Full review
Insight Guides

DK Eyewitness

Time Out

Frommer's

Lonely Planet

Lonely Planet
"This scrumptious 17-room hotel, a bakery at the time of Henri IV, was designed from head to toe by Christian Lacroix." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Fantastically located in the trendsetting Upper Marais, this former boulangerie in a 17th-century building has been redone by Christian Lacroix." Full review
Time Out
"Within striking distance of the hip shops around rue Charlot, this turn-of-the-century façade masks what was once the oldest boulangerie in Paris, lovingly restored as a boutique hotel." Full review
Star Service
" Here, Mr. LaCroix takes the concept of layered, overly coordinated toile du joie and turns it on its ear. If this hotel were a bumper sticker it would read, "Question Authority." " Full review
Gayot
"Given that this Marais District hotel was designed by Christian Lacroix, it's no surprise that it's a bit over the top."
