Mama Shelter

Best for… The Budget Bargainistas

On the receiving end of a host of awards from everyone from hip magazine Wallpaper to Travel + Leisure and CNBC, Mama Shelter has been a roaring success thanks to its edgy interior design, great value for money and quirky side. 

Created by the family behind Club Med and a French philosopher, the hotel’s look and feel was devised by French design guru Philippe Starck. Dubbed ‘Eclectic and electric’, it’s friendly, warm and casual yet utterly stylish.The rooms are contemporary and cool, but with a sense of humour.You’ve got to love the Star Wars and comic book inspired masks that double up as bedside lamps!

Although the colours are stark, monochromatic blacks and greys, the rooms still feel cosy despite a slightly ‘post industrial’ feel. Perhaps the mix of sleek dark wood finish and bare concrete walls? With five star touches like the 100% cotton satiny smooth sheets and the usual minibar, IMAC and even a microwave, it’s a nice mix of service and independence. Another perk of staying at Mama Shelter? The free in room movies on demand! Although, chances are you’d rather be exploring Paris. €70 per night.
