Its history
It was through the first containment that each member of the ValueState Hotels group was able to focus on the idea of founding Life. 🚀
Yes, at that point we were all at home either working or finding a new hobbit to discover.
From brainstorming to designing Life “Better than home”, these professionals and enthusiasts took time to think about the idea and its 4 pillars Sleep, Work, Arty & Play.
Of course, they thought of everything, the importance of digital and the preservation of the environment that they wanted to create a newgen brand, while remaining in line with the values that are increasingly carried by everyone.
Sleep
Inside the accommodation, you will discover rooms with a design unique to each establishment.
Everything has been thought of so that you can have a wonderful stay, from the furnishings to the uncluttered decoration that will immerse you in the Life atmosphere. 😁
So as well as recharging your batteries in the best possible bedding, you also get to enjoy the chromecast ! Perfect for a chill evening in front of your favourite series.
You’ll see, you’ll immediately feel better than at home! 😊
Work
Some of these rooms can be adapted to your needs to offer you a working space.
In addition, co-working is available, perfect for brainstorming with others, or to have a quiet place where you can work in peace. Everything is designed for ! 😄
Play

Like a library, games and little surprises that members of the team will have made for you, are waiting for you ! 😁
Arty
In terms of design, all LIFE spaces have been designed by the architect MOHA.
From the breakfast room, through the warm space and the heart of a gourmet offer, to the centre of this alveolus…
Of course LIFE always preserves the environment, symbolic design in connection with the vital need to eat 😉
Key dates
Under the sun ☀️
In July 2021, Life hotels will open its first establishment in Marseille, in the heart of the Old Port. What could be better than spending a weekend in a place near the beach? 😎
In the centre of the wine region 🍷
See the Bordeaux train station ? Next to it is the second Life Hotels establishment which opened its doors in January 2022 ! Currently being renovated, it can’t wait to welcome you to discover its atypical universe. 😊
Who came up with this wonderful idea ?
Indeed, François Dubrule and Alexis Caude are the two entrepreneurs who founded the sendinblueValueState group in 2010 before subsequently creating the Life brand.
“Dear Lifeuses Lifeurs, Since my beginnings in the hotel business, supported by a demanding family environment, I have been keen to share my values. I hope that you will find them at LIFE because everything must flow during your stay. Work, play, rest or laugh, nothing should be missing! And all this in the best place in town… Life is cool”.
François Dubrule
