"Just like how mama used to make it" is the sentiment behind this Hollywood hotel’s colorful restaurant and it’s a theme that runs throughout the building. The rooms – livened up with funky decor like tie-dye pillows and Spanish-tile floors – make a stylish (if quirky) place to rest your head, while the rooftop is the best place to take in the Hollywood cityscape without having to set foot on the heaving Walk of Fame. The thing that makes it a little different from your Mama's, however, is that as well as being in actual Hollywood, there's an award-winning bar and restaurant.
Where is it? In the heart of Hollywood.
Which room? The XXL Mama Suite Hollywood, for sure – complete with incredible views of the hills.
Time Out tip: Keen to mingle? Although we can't always guarantee it, the vibes at Mama Shelter appear to be truly immaculate.
