Ni Hotel opens

A new 3 star hotel has opened close to the Place d'Armes on rue Grimaldi. The small, boutique style Ni Hotel, with just 17 rooms, also boasts a fitness room and sun terrace with sea view, although we've not seen those yet.

It couldn't be more different from the old, traditional Hotel Helvetia, which it replaces. The decor in the lobby has a slightly psychedelic, neon, 60s / 70s theme.

Next door and up some steps, they're also promoting the NI Bar as a trendy spot for chilling out in the evening with friends. I think we have a new place to try!
