Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Hi Matic Hotel is Efficient and Affordable

— July 7, 2011 — Eco
Eco-efficient and affordable lodging can often lead travelers to some rather dodgy places to stay, but the Hi Matic Hotel will hopefully instigate a change for the better. This new accommodation project located in Paris is not only eco-friendly, it is also very modern and well-maintained.

Created by French designer Matali Crasset, in collaboration with Patrick Elouarghi and Philippe Chatelet, the Hi Matic Hotel is comprised of 42 cabin-like rooms that alter their function depending on the time of day. A cross between an urban hotel and a countryside bed and breakfast, the Hi Matic Hotel offers cozy spaces that have a happy, colorblocked decor. This hotel also serves organic food that solidifies it as eco-conscious.
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Lodging - Design and build eco-friendly hotels and resorts that are affordable, modern, well-maintained, and offer organic food.
2. Flexible Room Design - Develop hotel rooms that can alter their function depending on the time of day to optimize space efficiency and guest comfort.
3. Colorblocking Decor - Integrate happy, colorblocking decor in hotel rooms to create a vibrant and unique guest experience.
Industry Implications

2. Interior Design - Opportunity to create unique room designs that incorporate innovative features, such as flexible furniture and colorblocking decor, to enhance guest experience and space efficiency.
3. Organic Food and Beverage - Opportunity to provide organic food and beverage options in hotels and resorts to meet the growing demand for sustainable and healthy food choices.
