Staying at Mama Shelter

It looks like I will be spending a night on my upcoming trip to France at the new, much heralded Mama Shelter Hotel in Paris. Every travel outlet has been talking about the new hotel that has recently been opened by the family that owns Club Med, and designed by Philippe Starck. The rooms are supposed to be minuscule, even by Paris standards, and the it is a ways out of the city center in the 20th arrondisement on the far side of Pere Lachaise, but it's definitely worth a look, I think. Especially for the price of 79 euros...

The New York Times apparently thought so as well, because they published their review of it this week, and I wrote about it for HotelChatter: http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/3/23/05028/4561/hotels/The_New_York_Times_Finally_Visits_Mama_Shelter_in_Paris
