Expert reviews
“With personalised iMacs, video booths and free movies in every room, Mama Shelter is up-to-the-minute. White rooms are small, medium or large; XL doubles have a sofa bed. The ground-floor restaurant sports the same signature rubber rings strung above the bar as other Philippe Starck–designed hotels.”
“An elegant, boldly designed hotel in central Bordeaux, occupying the historic Gas Tower building: the city’s first experiment with Modernism. Rooms leave nothing to be desired, and come with plenty of quirky touches that will ensure your stay is a memorable one.”
