Gridskipper points us to a hotel story in last weekends NY Times that we overlooked.

Hi Hotel (warning: Flash mess ahead) is what the Times calls a "an aggressively postmodern, high-tech property conceived by Matali Crasset, the Philippe Starck protégé."

Looks like a really cool design hotel, and it comes complete with these things called "sofablasters" (couches avec speakers), but why do we get the feeling the service falls flat.

Call it a hunch, but the higher the concept the lower the service these days.  We have no evidence of this, so maybe this ultra high concept design hotel is different.

Help us kick this bias and tell us this place is different.
