And that makes 10! For its 10th location in France (and 18th worldwide), the Mama Shelter brand has just set up shop in the heart of Dijon, across from Sainte-Bénigne Cathedral and the Square des Bénédictins. Nestled in a 1960s Brutalist building listed by Bâtiments de France and transformed into a “luminous glass box,” in the words of architect Benjamin El Doghaïli, the hotel features 120 rooms that embody all the Mama codes—a warm, functional atmosphere and decorative details that give it its charm (carpet printed with the city’s emblems…). Impeccable accommodations, but what we love most here are the many spaces that already make the hotel one of Dijon’s hotspots—a restaurant with large communal tables, outdoor patios, Cinémama with private screenings, Burgundy wine tasting workshops, karaoke nights, and even a pétanque court that fills up at cocktail hour.
