After many glorious years at Club Med (co-founded by the Trigano family), Serge Trigano launched Mama Shelter in 2008 with his sons Jérémie and Benjamin. From the beginning, the founders have offered guests a mix of shared fun, affordability and exceptional service, implementing MAMA only in cities that they love and in neighbourhoods with a unique story. By deciding to focus only on locations that spoke to their hearts, Mama Shelter hotels express their ideal of an unusual, eccentric and unique place to be. More than just rooms and restaurants, Mama Shelter is dynamic and vibrant - a true urban refuge that is not only beautiful and modern, but also popular, friendly and sexy. Paris was followed by Marseille, from there to Lyon, Bordeaux, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Prague, Belgrade, Toulouse, Lille, London, Paris West, Luxembourg with upcoming openings in Rome, Bahrain, Dubai, Lisbon, Paris La Défense and many more. In 2014, the international hotel chain, Accor, partnered with Mama Shelter to develop the concept and welcome travellers and locals throughout the world.
