In September 2008 Mama Shelter has opend its doors to the public revealing the 172 rooms on seven floors in five color schemes. Clients will be able to choose from 15 square meter size rooms to 35 square meter size rooms ranging from approximately 79 Euros to 299 Euros. The largest suite, situated on the top floor, has a terrace that provides its guest with a magnificent view of “Paris made in the 20th district”.
Each room is equipped with a kitchenette and was designed in collaboration with the famous designer, Philippe Starck, who made sure the hotel guests felt comfortable, as if they were staying in a sensual refuge with luxurious bedding, five star 100 percent cotton satin sheets, coffee machines, microwaves, 24 inch IMacs (including TV, radio, CD/DVD, Skype and free Internet access), everything adorned with an urban twist. Each morning, on every floor, right across
the elevators, there is a board with daily events of the cultural life of Paris inscribed in chalk. The ambition was to create not only a place to spend the night, but to establish a modern kibbutz, a laic monastery, a place where friends can gather around the table to share a meal prepared by the chef or to visit the nearby “Fleche D’Or”, the popular Parisian electro- indie rock club.
On the main floor of Mama Shelter guests will be greeted from across an enormous table with built-in screens in front of which cold cabinets will hold meals available to the guests 24/7. The chef, responsible for the idea of such meals also envisioned a corner with sweets to satisfy the sweet tooth of the youngest hotel residents. After having chosen the delicacies the guests wish to indulge in, they will be taken to their room, where they can relax in the comfortable seating, surrounded by candles. Monitors are not only built into the large table close to the entrance, but also into the hotels columns, thanks to which the guests are constantly informed and entertained.
For those who can still easily reconnect with their inner child there is an eight-person foosball table. There is also a terrace for those to whom winter poses no threat or those who like to enjoy a puff. The yoga lovers can let go and meditate in the “Yoga Room”, thrill seekers can rent electric scooters or motorbikes whereas others can rent cars with chauffeurs. The hotel also provide a large parking space fitting 50 cars and offer guides with information about the secrets of the 20th arrondissement to be discovered at any time of day or night.
