Founded in 2008 by Serge Trigano and his sons Jérémie and Benjamin (co‑founders of Club Med), Mama Shelter is a creator of living spaces and a daily director. These are atypical places where everyone feels at home, born from a blend of influences, freedoms, sensations and emotions. Each Mama tells the story of the city in which it is located and all influences blend together.

We offer guests a joyful atmosphere and exceptional service at an affordable price. More than just rooms and restaurants, Mama Shelter is a dynamic urban refuge that is aesthetically pleasing, modern, popular, welcoming and sexy. Whatever your role, we are all here to make the customer experience unforgettable. Our mission is to bring little moments of happiness to people.

Mama Shelter is an inclusive company and our ambition is to recruit and promote diverse talent. Our advertisements are gender‑neutral, so the masculine gender is used here to lighten the text.
