Julie Gauthron and Christophe Sauvage poured their passion for collecting into the design of the 26 rooms. Each one is distinct and unique, with a personalized, thoughtful touch that makes them feel more like a friend's home than a hotel.

Le Crayon is a poetic, bucolic, and artistic hotel that embraces bold combinations: vintage finds are reimagined as everyday works of art, blending styles and genres in unexpected ways.

The hotel is filled with whimsical characters. You might encounter them in a hallway, the elevator, or even a bathroom. You will also find the spirit of the city here—or rather, an artist's perspective on Paris. From plunging views in the corridors to majestic headboards, the city breathes through the architecture. It is an echo of the outside world, resonating within this unique space.
