Fodor's Expert Review Mama Shelter
64 rue de la Loubière, Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 13006, France
Manufacturing hip is this urban chain hotel's claim to fame (not surprising, as it's the brainchild of designer Philippe Starck), and it has the formula down pat—offbeat (preferably artsy) neighborhood, check; plenty of graffiti in the interior design, check; functional, minimalist rooms, check; sexy touches, check. For in-hotel nightlife, with its cool pastis bar, local artisanal beer, and great live music on weekends, this spot is a good bet.
PROS
- buffet breakfasts can't be beat
- great on-site nightlife
- cool vibe
CONS
- not always a bargain
- not to everyone's taste
- iffy neighborhood
