Design-led bedrooms, four al fresco pools, an extensive coworking space, and an intimate cinema—it’s all here.
The city has (finally) made room for Mama. After years of news around Mama Shelter’s entry into the Middle East, the lifestyle hotel brand has launched its latest property in Business Bay, and it promises to be a hotspot for “living, celebration, and everything in between”. The new lifestyle destination stays true to the brand’s DNA, bringing with it a fresh wave of bold design, vibrant energy, and playful hospitality. Taking up residence in global districts that tell a story – Bordeaux, Belgrade, London, Prague, Rome and Lisbon among others – each Mama Shelter property now serves as an “urban refuge” to travellers of all ages, cultures and backgrounds. Closer to home, here’s what to expect.
Rooms & Amenities
With 197 uniquely designed rooms, Mama Shelter Dubai offers cosy accommodations featuring 100% satin cotton sheets, five-star bedding, organic bathroom amenities from the exclusive Mama Skin range, complimentary WiFi, and even films. Every detail is thoughtfully curated to ensure ultimate comfort and style. The hotel also houses four outdoor swimming pools where guests can unwind and soak up the city’s sunshine, along with CineMama, an al fresco cinema that seats 50 and offers a charming space for entertainment and daydreaming under the stars.
For those looking to work or host events, Mama Shelter Dubai features five ateliers and a breakroom. Each atelier is a MICE room, designed to inspire creativity and collaboration. Guests can also explore the Mama Shop, a one-of-a-kind boutique offering an array of unique items — ambiance perfumes, T-shirts, hoodies, and canvas bags included.
Dining
Between their relaxed atmosphere and lively celebration, the restaurants across Mama Shelter Dubai beckon. Mama Restaurant serves comforting brasserie-style cuisine, Mama Trattoria is rooted in authentic Italian flavours, and Mamm’s Bar is ideal for a chic hideaway for signature cocktails. Elsewhere, Mama Skypool is perfect for relaxed afternoons. Mama’s famous brunch promises a vibrant culinary experience, while foosball tables, live DJ sets, and electrifying music keep the party alive from day to night.
Design
From the moment you step inside, Mama Shelter Dubai enchants with its eclectic and vibrant interiors. Designed by Mama’s design team, with a rebellious spirit and an eye for detail, the space is alive with bold colours, artistic patterns, and playful décor elements that invite curiosity and delight. From the spectacular ceiling of giant neon lights at drop-off to the mix of luxurious and unconventional furnishings, an ambiance that is both welcoming and captivating awaits. Every corner of the hotel tells a story, offering guests a feast for the eyes and a unique sense of place.
“In Dubai, at a time when all the world’s luxury hotels compete in a ‘Star Wars”’ battle for five, six, or even seven stars, with marble and thick carpets, Mama Shelter has simply chosen to settle here, preserving its soul and character. A magical and relaxed place, open to everyone – locals, expatriates, businesswomen and men, and tourists – who will come to enjoy a drink or share a meal in the various restaurants. A venue located in Business Bay, ideally positioned to explore this vibrant city-state, brimming with energy, which is set to become the new benchmark for modern, warm, and passionate hospitality in Dubai,” says Serge Trigano, co-founder of Mama Shelter.
“Dubai is a city of bold vision and cultural diversity, a perfect match for Mama Shelter’s ethos of equality, freedom, and living in social harmony,” adds Cédric Gobilliard, COO of Mama Shelter. “Bringing Mama Shelter to this vibrant destination reflects our commitment to creating spaces where people from all walks of life can come together, celebrate, and share authentic experiences. Dubai’s energy inspires us to break barriers and unveil the unique, festive spirit that defines Mama Shelter.”
