Le Shack

What Le Shack does

Le Shack (legal entity SHACK SAS, RCS Paris n° 852 512 276) is a Paris-based hybrid hospitality venue operating from a 1,500 m² historic building at 4 impasse Sandrié in the 9th arrondissement, originally designed by Gustave Eiffel in 1872 for the Calmann-Lévy publishing house. Founded in October 2018 by Émilie Vazquez and Philippe Bourguignon — both former senior executives at AccorHotels — and opened to the public in May 2020 after a COVID-related delay, Le Shack positions itself as a 'third place' combining coworking, restaurant and cocktail bar, wellness programming, a podcast studio, and event spaces across 15+ named meeting rooms and 45 rooms in 10 themed universes.

The company's core product surface includes meeting-room rentals (from €95 HT per person per day), Meet@leShack membership subscriptions at €190/month, Resident@leShack private offices for 2–15 people, à la carte wellness classes (aerial yoga, floating meditation, shadow boxing), a two-tier podcast studio (€100 HT autonomous / €460 HT with engineer), restaurant and bar service with monthly-changing seasonal menus, and team-building packages (murder parties, mixology, street art, cooking classes). Technology is a conventional digital booking layer — app.leshack.fr for self-serve reservations and a content-marketing website — overlaid on physical infrastructure including enterprise-grade 1 Gb/s WiFi, interactive 65-inch touchscreens, and configurable audiovisual rooms.

Le Shack generates revenue through a diversified mix: recurring subscriptions (Meet@leShack, Resident@leShack), transactional venue rentals (meeting rooms, podcast studio, wellness classes), F&B transactions (restaurant, bar, Shack Hour happy hour), corporate event privatizations handled via a dedicated sales team, and a B2B consulting line called Reinvent by le Shack that helps corporates redesign workspaces. Customers are segmented across enterprise and corporate teams, remote workers and nomads, dining and entertainment seekers, and wellness participants; the only named enterprise relationship is CNP Assurances, for which Le Shack operates a 1,500 m² white-label facility in Issy-les-Moulineaux under the Reinvent by le Shack model, winning the Trophée du public at La Nuit de l'Immo 2025.

• OfficeRiders: French platform aggregating meeting rooms, day offices and event spaces across Paris and other cities. Indirect competitor to Le Shack on the meeting-room booking layer, serving a similar enterprise customer base.
• Mama Shelter: French hybrid hotel-restaurant-coworking brand owned by Accor, blending affordable design-led rooms with buzzy restaurants, bars and co-working. Most directly comparable to Le Shack's hybrid workspace-plus-F&B positioning and shared Parisian hospitality DNA.
• Morning Coworking: French coworking network targeting freelancers and small teams with design-forward spaces across Paris and major French cities. Comparable on the meeting-room and private-office offerings aimed at SMEs and independents.
• The Bureau Co: Independent French coworking operator with Paris locations offering design-led workspaces, meeting rooms and community events. Comparable mid-scale coworking + events model targeting similar enterprise and freelancer segments.
• Soho House: Global members' club combining coworking, dining, wellness, events and cultural programming in distinctive buildings. Closely mirrors Le Shack's subscription + multi-vertical + heritage-venue model, albeit at much larger scale and price point.
• Newton Offices: Paris-based premium coworking and serviced-office operator with multiple central Paris locations. Direct overlap with Le Shack on corporate meeting rooms and private offices for mid-market and enterprise clients.
• Wojo: French flexible-workspace brand (formerly Bureau coworking) backed by BNP Paribas Real Estate, offering coworking, meeting rooms and private offices across major French cities. The most direct domestic competitor for Le Shack's meeting-room and private-office revenue.
