We think Mama Shelter, a brand new Phillipe-Starck designed, ultra-trendy hotel in Paris, is the Mama of all geek hotels: she's got 24-inch iMacs in her rooms. All her rooms. These computers actually function as a single terminal for all the room's digital needs, providing the HDTV, radio, DVD player and, obviously, the computer.
Downstairs, you can park yourself at a single long, narrow communal dining table that seats around 20 people. While you munch on your breakfast, you can stare down at the glass tabletop — under which lies multiple TV screens lined up one after the other, each one showing a different news channel from around the world (pictured).
And how's this for, er, super-visual social networking: within the restaurant sits an "iBooth" that will snap pics — and then will circulate the images around the various wall-mounted televisons in the restaurant area, giving you free license to ogle your fellow guests without looking like a creepster.
