Compared to Mama Shelter’s other properties, the design is a little more subdued in Lille; think soft shades of blush pink and grey. The accessories inject some of the brand’s bold personality into the design, with an eclectic mix of printed carpets and cushions, a mish mash of furniture (from leather armchairs to plastic tree trunks acting as stools), and the odd pop of citrus yellow.
The hotel’s signature and now very Instagrammable masks can be found on each bedside lamp, if you fancy playing dress-up. Bedding is up to the same five-star standard as all other properties in the group, and the huge beds and fluffy duvets feel heavenly after a long day of sightseeing.
On one side of the building, rooms have a view over a park and its fairly urban backdrop, on the other side rooms enjoy a more picturesque vista of Lille. One thing worth noting, although it’s proximity to Lille’s two train stations is very handy, it does mean you can hear the train announcements when they’re running. Request a room on the fourth floor or below if you want to be sure of more peace.
The bathrooms are a good size, as are the powerful rain showers. Toiletries are courtesy of organic beauty brand Absolution. In each room you’ll also find a television with a choice of 50 regularly rotating films for some in-room entertainment. There are no tea or coffee making facilities, but you’re welcome to bring drinks up from the restaurant and bar.
