97 PLACE SAINT HUBERT, 59800 Lille
You are welcomed to a place that is anything but ordinary, a hotel designed as a warm and lively living space, where every detail contributes to creating a vibrant and accessible atmosphere. Mama Shelter Lille is located in a central neighborhood of the city, just a few minutes' walk from the two major train stations, Lille-Flandres and Lille-Europe. This address allows easy access to the city's iconic landmarks while remaining close to its main transport routes.
Behind its contemporary facade, the establishment unfolds a bold visual universe designed by architect Jalil Amor. The 112 rooms are available in several categories, from compact formats for short stays to larger spaces that can accommodate up to four people. All offer a quiet and comfortable environment, with generous bedding, a walk-in shower, a large-screen TV, a safe, and free Wi-Fi.
The rooms surprise with their bold visual identity. Colorful carpets, playful decorative objects, superhero masks on bedside lamps, and eclectic furniture set the tone. This creativity never compromises comfort: the bed, at the heart of the experience, ensures quality rest thanks to top-of-the-line bedding and carefully selected pillows.
For stays as a couple or with family, some rooms are connecting. Others have sofa beds to accommodate younger guests. You can even have a meal tray or a bottle sent up in the evening, before enjoying the wide selection of free movies available in each room for a relaxing moment without leaving your cocoon.
The dining offer plays a central role in the experience. The restaurant, open daily from noon to 11 p.m., features homemade dishes created in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Guy Savoy. You will find convivial and generous recipes, from Flemish carbonnade to revisited classics like ham pasta shells or truffle croque-monsieur.
The Sunday brunch attracts both travelers and locals from Lille, with an all-you-can-eat formula alternating between pastries, salads, meats, hot dishes, and varied desserts. Even a children's entertainment service is provided, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the moment. Board games, foosball, and an arcade machine are available to extend the playful spirit of this weekly event.
The bar at Mama Shelter Lille also stands out. It comes alive in the afternoon and offers a menu of signature cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere. DJ sets liven up the evenings from Thursday to Saturday, while live concerts sometimes take place on Sundays. These events create a friendly atmosphere that makes you want to extend the evening in a warm setting.
On the top floor, the veranda offers an unobstructed view of the rooftops of Lille. This still-confidential rooftop occasionally hosts outdoor parties, particularly during the Secret Sunset Party events organized in the summer. In daylight or under lanterns, this spot represents another side of Mama: more peaceful, almost contemplative, before transitioning to a more festive ambiance.
The breakfast buffet is the perfect way to start the day, with a wide selection of sweet and savory products. It is accessible even to non-residents, just like the restaurant and bar, further anchoring the establishment locally. This hybrid positioning, between hotel, brasserie, and living space, creates a dynamic that goes beyond the simple function of accommodation.
The welcome is simple and efficient, with a 24/7 reception, multilingual staff, a concierge service, and practical amenities like parking, laundry, or a business corner. Nothing ostentatious here, but a desire to offer a smooth and pleasant stay, for leisure trips as well as business travel.
The common areas reflect this desire for diversity: you’ll find families brunching, travelers passing through, and locals stopping by for a drink. This diversity gives the place a soul, far from the impersonal codes of traditional hospitality. Mama Shelter Lille asserts its style effortlessly, creating a lively setting where everyone can find their place.
From the hotel, strolling around the city is very easy on foot. In just a few minutes, you can reach the Grand-Place with its Flemish facades, the Opera, or the shopping streets winding through Vieux-Lille. This neighborhood, one of the city's most charming, invites you to wander between shops, galleries, and brick houses.
A little further away, the Vauban Citadel opens up a vast walking area among trees, canals, and historic fortifications. This peaceful spot attracts joggers, families, and heritage enthusiasts. The adjoining zoo, accessible for free, can also be part of an urban getaway.
For culture enthusiasts, the Palais des Beaux-Arts, less than 15 minutes away on foot, houses an impressive collection of European paintings and sculptures. Less crowded but just as interesting, the Hospice Comtesse Museum offers a journey through Lille’s history in a building rich in heritage.
Don’t miss Notre-Dame de la Treille Cathedral, whose architecture mixes tradition and modernity. It regularly hosts temporary exhibitions and concerts, as does the Saint-Sauveur cultural center, set in a former freight station. This avant-garde venue offers events blending art, music, and contemporary installations.
Each season, Lille also hosts major events: the September Braderie, Christmas markets in December, music or film festivals throughout the year. Mama Shelter Lille, with its location and philosophy, allows you to fully enjoy these events while offering an animated and welcoming refuge at any time of day.
The spirit of the establishment is based on a clever mix: comfortable and well-thought-out accommodation, a relaxed atmosphere, generous dining, and shared moments. By coming here, you enter a place that goes beyond the codes of classic hospitality to experience something lively, accessible, and full of personality.
