Self described as a motley crew of owners and founders, including the co-founders of Club Med, activist Roland Castro, a French philosopher and more, Mama Shelter was transformed from its previous life as a parking garage, and the rest was left up to interior designer Philippe Starck to create a space for the adventurous traveller. Nestled way out in the 20th arrondissement (and a few minutes walk from the nearest Metro stop), Mama Shelter mixes affordable and luxury yet provides a luxury getaway that definitely doesn’t fail to impress.
