About MAMA SHELTER

Industry: Hospitality

Company size: 501-1,000 employees

After many wonderful years at Club Med (co-founded by the Trigano family), in 2008, Serge Trigano launched Mama Shelter in partnership with his sons Jérémie and Benjamin. From the outset, they wanted to offer their customers an enjoyable environment and exceptional service at an affordable price. They have based themselves in the cities they love, in districts that tell a story. Focusing solely on such cherished locations has enabled the founders of Mama Shelter to express their ideal of an unusual, eccentric and unique place. More than rooms and restaurants, the Mama Shelter hotels have an energy, a vibrancy; they are true urban refuges, not just aesthetic and modern, but also popular, welcoming and sexy. The Paris East hotel was followed by hotels in Marseille, then Lyon, Bordeaux, Los Angeles, Rio de Janeiro, Prague, Belgrade, Toulouse, Lille, London, Paris West, Luxembourg, Rome, Lisbon, Paris La Défense and Rennes. Future establishments are currently planned for Dijon, Dubai along with many other places. In 2014, the international hotel chain Accor joined forces with Mama Shelter to extend this concept and welcome travellers from all over the world. Mama Shelter is part of Ennismore, a creative hotel group rooted in cultures and destinations, with a global portfolio of entrepreneurial brands. Ennismore is a joint venture with Accor founded in 2021.
