Hotel description

Newly created by the founders of the Club Med and French philosopher, Cyril Aouizerate, Mama Shelter was designed by Philippe Starck to offer an eclectic and electric ambiance thanks to its friendly, warm and casual common areas. The hotel is housed in a new building in the rapidly-changing Charonne district of Paris' 20th arrondissement, a once gritty working-class area previously overlooked by the hotel industry but becoming popular as an alternative to the more touristic central districts. Cyril Aoizerate and his company Urbantech's philosophy was to integrate Mama Shelter into its local environment; this is achieved mainly with the common areas, and the exterior, which look like apartments.

The rooms are both sensual and elegant, with Philippe Starck's signature colour contrasts, as well as features such as Apple iMac TVs, 100% satin cotton sheets and luxury bedding. A restaurant on-site provides simple and delicious cuisine; there's also a bar and lounge called Chic-Chic, as well as a French Brasserie and a comfortable, romantic terrace where you might cross paths with the local artist's community who currently choose the area to live in. If you're feeling a bit stressed, you might want to go down to the Yoga room – another of Mama Shelter's innovative features – or even play a game of giant table football. For music lovers, one of Paris's most renowned international live music venues, La Fleche d'Or, is just across the street.

Location

Mama Shelter is situated in the Charonne district, at the southeast corner of Père Lachaise cemetery, where Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf and Fédéric Chopin are buried. The nearest metro stations are Alexandre Dumas and Porte de Bagnolet.

"Hotel simple dans la construction et les matériaux, plein d'astuces et de bonnes idées, singulier, ambiance très chaleureuse malgré une dominante béton et gris; brunch dominical excellent, personnel très sympathique (surtout le restaurant), toilettes du RDC fantastique!! Bref, à recommander (et à recommencer!!)."

"Un peu bruyant à cause de la flèche d'or. Accès parking par ascenseur très compliqué, du coup nous avons été obligé de sortir de l'hotel et passer par la rampe, pas très cool. Tout était autrement parfait mais le petit dej est vraiment trop trop cher"

"J'ai eu la chance de découvrir l'hotel à ses débuts, attiré par la décoration de P.Stark. La décoration est vraiment originale et à voir. Très bonne literie et chambre bien équipée (imac qui sert de TV et accès internet, meubles stark). Restaurant et bar sympa mais la carte n'est pas très originale pour le moment (doit être revue par A.Senderens). Hotel situé en face de la flèche d'or mais quand même excentré du centre de Paris."

Alexandre M. - France - 21-Oct-08

"FANTÁSTICO. ADOREI E RECOMENDO|"

"L'albergo è nuovissimo (settembre 2008), accogliente e funzionale. Le camere sono un po' piccole, ma silenziose, luminose, dotate di accesso internet gratuito e di letti particolarmente comodi. Il personale è cordiale e il bar dell'hotel piacevole. La zona è un po' defilata, ma vivace e animata. La fermata della metro non è vicinissima."
