Mama Shelter

For those who prize style above location, this well-known hipster hotel with furnishings by Philippe Starck could be the ticket. Prices vary from fair to outrageously overpriced depending upon how much in advance you book so it’s best to find early online deals. A big plus is the restaurant with its tasty menu dreamt up by Michelin-starred Parisian chef Guy Savoy. From this 7th-district hotel, you’ll need to cross both the River Rhône and Saône to reach Lyon’s Old Town.
