A dark reception with plush velvet arm chairs, garishly bright lampshades and a wacky ceiling graffitied with colourful doodles set the tone for Mama Shelter.
The brand first launched in Paris in 2008 and has since expanded to eight hotels in France, including three in Paris, with another launching in Rennes in Brittany next year.
Where is Mama Shelter London Shoreditch?
The seductive hotel is currently the only Mama Shelter in the UK.
It sits on the edge of London’s Bethnal Green and is a ten-minute walk from the underground.
