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.
In his new role, he will lead environmental stewardship, sustainability innovations, and community outreach at Six Senses Uluwatu, with the aim of integrating luxury hospitality and sustainability.
