| | Facilities within the Property |
 HI has automatic bars on the landings, for moments when guests need spa water, champagne, fruit juice or wine.
Happy Bar
The bar is the focal point of the hotel, built around a suspended hot air balloon. The basket hovers aloft and filters the light from the street and the atrium garden. By night, the atmosphere is festive with lighting effects and the interior of the basket is used in the evening by DJs and for video screenings included in the HI.mages programs. |
 HI Food
An adjoining "laboratory" serves dishes to be combined, with an assortment of tastes, following rules set and regularly changed by the chef. HI food is a self-service area, open 24 hours a day, leaving total freedom for meals and snacks without any restrictions.
Matali Crasset designed "Link" the white porcelain dinner service which has discarded conventional dinner table etiquette seeks to invent new rituals. The dinner service has four containers, with the bowl being used as a cup, the tea-cup as a soup-bowl, and so on. Here is a dinner service which will revolutionise our eating habits and prove that whether we are eating or having a coffee, the main idea is to be together. The porcelain is of the finest quality, supremely white, fine, translucent and yet sturdy. |
 The HI relaxation areas all focus on a sense of well-being:
Hammam
The contemporary style bath made entirely from resin is a genuine hammam with two hot zones and two adjoining rooms, one for relaxing with music, and the other for massage. Well-being also means enjoying the outstanding climate in Nice, with warmth in the atrium garden, on the private terraces and spa terraces, and on the hotel roof solarium. |
 Bathing on the roof
The high point of HI is the open-air terrace on the 8th floor, commanding a magnificent view of Nice, the Mediterranean and the Alps. The swimming pool reaches up vertically, like a huge terracotta pot set on top of the building. And here is another room to enjoy, with its own custom built furniture. Different options are available for interacting with the space: chatting at tables on the terrace, lounging on a deck chair or reclining on giant waterbeds on the "beach-front".
HI runs a program of feature films and every Thursday evening at 7.30 a video is screened at the bar. The program can be viewed on the hotel's in-house channel which includes: videos, documentaries, fiction, computer-generated images and animated films. |
 HI.book
It's an original, self-service library with novels, essays, books on art, architecture and design, and magazines in French, English, German, Italian and other languages.
HI is a hotel with the focus turned towards embracing what is happening outside its own walls. It will be presenting contemporary works of art in exhibitions created by Francis Fichot. Recent events have featured Oscar Diaz's candles, Emmanuel Bourrousse and Tim Parsons, from "fab", projects with the Gandy Gallery in Prague, and Jerome Olivet's "Demonsoap". Other exhibitions in collaboration with students at ECAL in Lausanne and the Villa Arson in Nice, will be seen in the future. |
