Star designer Philippe Starck joined forces with Schrager back in 1990 to launch the Mama Shelter Paris. Now success has wrought a second hotel, Mama Shelter Marseille (64, Rue de la Loubière, Cours Julien, Marseille, France, www.mamashelter.com/marseille), which has just opened its doors. Like its sister in Paris, the new addition follows a fun, contemporary theme, with unconventionally-designed furniture, chalk calligraphy on black walls and ceilings and pop art lining the floor. There are four room types, ranging from the 15-sq-meter double to 45-sq-meter Big Mama suite. We especially love that their amenities feature Kheil’s. Rates are pretty affordable, too, starting from €69 (B2,760).
