Mama Shelter Marseille
3 star hotelHotel64 Rue de la Loubiere, Marseille, 13006, FranceThe exquisitely quirky Mama Shelter is a welcome addition to Marseille, bringing its trademark Philippe Starck design and delectable Guy Savoy cuisine with it. You’ll find it tucked away near the Cours Julien district, with its arty urban spirit and mix of concert halls, up and coming fashion brands and sunny terraces.
There’s a beautiful bar and a terrace with its own impressive selection of pastis, and the brasserie restaurant serves a menu conceived by Michel-starred chef Guy Savoy, but with a very reasonable price tag. The place erupts into life with DJs and dancing at the weekends, so you won’t have to venture far for a party.
