Mama Shelter will open its first hotel in Asia this September with Mama Shelter Singapore on Killiney Road in the Somerset district. The 115-room property is part of Ennismore, a global lifestyle hospitality group under Accor.
Founded in Paris, the brand has grown to 20 locations worldwide, including London, Lisbon, Dubai and Nice.
Mama Shelter Singapore is designed as a space for living, dining, socialising and entertainment. The hotel combines open-plan public areas with an active programme of live music, events and community engagement. The design, created by Dion & Arles, reflects Singapore’s multicultural identity through local motifs, Peranakan influences and a rooftop garden setting.
The rooftop includes a pool and tropical greenery, with nearly half the rooms featuring private terraces, a first for the brand. A large ceiling mural by Parisian street artist Beniloys spans the restaurant, rooftop and lift lobbies, illustrating Singapore’s maritime and cultural heritage.
The ground-floor restaurant and bar serve a brasserie-style menu overseen by executive chef Eugene Tan, with drinks developed alongside bartender Hazel Long. The Sunday brunch offers a selection of cold cuts, salads, pastas, roasts and desserts. The rooftop bar and restaurant provide Mediterranean-inspired dishes and live entertainment by the pool.
Rooms are designed with comfort and practicality in mind, featuring five-star bedding, soundproofing, large screens with films on demand, and bathroom products from Australian brand Ink & Water. The hotel also includes a retail shop with branded merchandise.
Located between Orchard Road and New Bahru, the hotel is a short walk from Somerset MRT and close to retail, dining and cultural venues.
Cédric Gobilliard, COO of Mama Shelter, shared: “Locals and travellers here want more than a room; they want character, connection, and soul. That’s exactly what Mama brings: a new kind of hospitality that’s human, playful, and open to everyone.”
Serge Trigano, co-founder of Mama Shelter, added: “When we opened the first Mama in Paris, we never imagined she would travel so far – but here we are in Singapore. A city full of life, creativity and character. I feel a real sense of pride seeing Mama’s spirit take root in Asia for the first time. This is not just another opening for us. It is a new chapter in the Mama story.”
To mark the opening, rooms are available at a starting price for bookings made before the deadline. The offer applies to stays within a set period, subject to availability. Special booking codes and membership discounts are also available.
