If you like the polished and colorful universe of comics, specially the ligne claire style of drawing (such as Hergé’s and co), well, you’ll like the design of this new hotel that has just been inaugurated in Paris 9^th arrondissement: Hotel Le Ballu.

With its vintage style, hotel Le Ballu takes you to an imaginary country, as a nod to Syldavia, the fictional country that is first depicted in King Ottokar’s Sceptre in The Adventures of Tintin.

Inspirations are countless: comics then, as well as architecture from Eastern Europe in the 60’s. Inside, we have 37 bedrooms (5 of them featuring a terrace), on 5 stories including a suite, 3 junior-suites and 1 deluxe.
