The house
AccorPlayful cinema conversion
The former city cinema now runs as an upbeat hotel. Downstairs, an underground screening room plays nightly cult films.
What it’s good at
Notable
Playful interiors mix street art with mask bedside lamps and dusty-pink brick accents.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The facade of an old cinema conceals some 120 rooms, which range in no-nonsense style from size Small on up to XXL.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto Boulevard Lazare Carnot, and Place du Capitole is a short walk away.
The rooms
Mask lamps light the bedside tables. Deep window benches look out toward the street or the interior courtyard.
Mama's Restaurant & Bar
An Argentine wood grill fires in the open kitchen, and oversized foosball tables stand beneath chalkboard ceilings.
Bar
Mama Rooftop
Thatched parasols shade daybeds along the brick bar, and an outdoor oven bakes pizzas over the city rooftops.
How it began
The preserved brick facade belonged to the Théâtre des Nouveautés, where Joséphine Baker performed before it became a cinema.
