Hôtel Crayon Rouge – Louvre Palais Royal

Hôtel Crayon Rouge at 42 rue Croix des Petits Champs favors small scale and a visual identity far removed from a standard chain hotel. It presents itself as a four-star property with just 17 rooms and suites, each with colorful retro decor. The Louvre and Palais-Royal are nearby, but distance is only part of the appeal. It may suit travelers who enjoy a distinctive design and prefer a small property to a building full of interchangeable rooms.

On October 1, 2026, Google showed 4.6/5 from 298 reviews; Booking showed 8.4/10 from 571 guests and a 9.5/10 location score. Visitors often praised staff and location. Some noted that rooms can feel small, so the exact category and floor area matter, especially for two people with luggage. Guest scores describe experiences; the four stars denote the hotel classification and are not a satisfaction rating.

The hotel makes sense for a museum-and-walking stay with a design-led room at the end of the day. Before paying, compare the room plan or floor area, bed type, breakfast, cancellation terms and full cost for the same nights. The official website describes the rooms; the checked ratings appear on Google Hotels and Booking.
