Designed My Matalia Crasset, France's Leading
Young Designer, The Hi Hotel Is A Bold Departure From Traditional
Accommodation. The Hotel's Name Derives From The Red Mark, Or Hi,
Found On Koi Carp, And Goldfish Can Be Found In Each Guest Room.
Nearby Attractions Include Musee Massena, Musee Des Beaux Arts
Jules Cheret, The Cathedral Of St Nicholas And The Boulevard
Victor Hugo.
The Fun Begins As Guests Walk Through The Purple Tinted Glass
Front Door. Crasset Used A Palette Of Pistachio, Raspberry,
Vanilla And Chartreuse For The Interior. A Mezzanine Stacked With
Books Donated By Museums, Galleries And Publishers Overlooks The
Double Height Bar And Dining Area, Where Five Star Chef Alain
Llorca's Cuisine Is Served In Petits Bocaux, Or Small Rubber
Sealed Jars. Visitors Choose Their Meals From A Self Service
Counter In The Kitchen. At The Far End Of The Restaurant Is La
Nacelle, A Birch Plywood Structure That Surrounds Guests In A
Light, Protective Embrace, And Resembles The Basket Of A Hot Air
Balloon. At Night, The Music Volume Goes Up. Videos And Lights
Turn The Hotel Ground Floor Into A Night Club.
The Hotel Offers 38 Guest Rooms With Nine Unconventional Design
Concepts. The Rooms Follow Four Color Themes, And Each Has A
Large Walk In, Free Form Shower, In Some Cases Behind The Beds,
Which Are Low On The Floor On Wooden Platforms. The Hotel's
