Flexible Cabins

The rst impression when you discover the rooms is an appropriation of space. The 42 rooms occupy 5 oors and are conceived on a model of a cabin. Space is available and exible. All is done to allow you to spend time. Each cabin oers all the services of a comfortable room. Flexible in its play with spaces and elements, the experience of living closer to the ground is what gives you that impression of freedom. Nothing is hung on the walls, the cabin is its own structure that leads to all services. The cabin has an extension that is a small desk. The bed is on a platform with its memory shape mattress that was custom-made. It is in the centre of the cabin. At night it becomes a large and comfortable bed for a good night’s sleep. During the day it’s a sofa for lounging, dining, working … A real freedom of action that entices you to possess the room as if it were a cabin made for children. Fluency, autonomy, simplicity: the client is in a universe without formalities while very structured.

The new born of HI Life

After the HI hotel in Nice and Dar HI in Nefta in Tunisia, HI matic is the new project of the HI life group. As usual, matali crasset, Patrick Elouarghi and Philippe Chapelet want to oer an accommodation concept shakes up conventional hotel business codes. They came up with new ways to welcome you and to allow you to live together in a hotel. They have managed to create very diverse entities from urban city hotel to the eco-retreat in the desert. HI matic adopts matali’s beliefs about hospitality which were her main concerns when she rst began – e.g hospitality column “When Jim comes to Paris”. HI matic respects the same logic as the Hi hotel in Nice in its contemporary, dynamic yet friendly dimension. A living experience that will be renewed at your next HI Life destination.
