Company Description
Founded in 2008 by Serge Trigano and his sons Jérémie and Benjamin (co founders of Club Med), Mama Shelter is a creator of living spaces and a daily director! These are atypical places, where everyone feels at home, places born of a blend of influences, freedoms, sensations and emotions. Each Mama tells the story of the city in which it is located, and all influences blend together. We offer our guests a joyful atmosphere and exceptional service at an affordable price. More than just rooms and restaurants, Mama Shelter is a dynamic, a vibe: they are true urban refuges, not only aesthetically pleasing and modern but also popular, welcoming and sexy. Whatever your role, we're all here to make the customer experience as unforgettable as possible. Our mission: to bring little moments of happiness to people. Our growth has enabled us to offer our teams great career paths through internal development and international mobility, and it's not a question of diplomas or years of experience. Mama Shelter is part of Ennismore, a creative hotel group rooted in cultures and destinations, with a global portfolio of brands. Ennismore is a joint venture with Accor, founded in 2021. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion: Mama is an inclusive company and our ambition is to recruit and promote diverse talent. Our advertisements are gender neutral, so the masculine gender is used here to lighten the text.
