Mama Shelter Paris West

Located around the corner from the Porte de Versaille Expo, Mama Shelter’s second hotel in the French capital has all the trappings of the trendy mini-chain: colorful urban art, a youthful atmosphere, a happening rooftop bar where DJs spin on weekends. Mama Shelter Paris West also has an indoor basketball court and a print shop where you can design your own t-shirt, among other diversions. French designers Dion & Arles are behind the whimsical interior decor, with guest rooms featuring concrete walls and velvet cushions, psychedelic carpets and woven headboards, rattan lampshades and colorfully patterned textiles, even quirky touches like Star Wars masks. In-room amenities include large flat-screen TVs with free streaming services and a complimentary sweets basket stocked with lollipops and gummy bears. It’s true you’re on the outskirts of Paris, but on the plus side, you’ll enjoy a dazzling view of the city skyline while having breakfast on the terrace.
