Mama Shelter, the global collection of authentic hotels, has announced plans to open a new location in Dubai. The property will be located in Dubai’s downtown Business Bay and is expected to open in 2020.
“We knew Dubai was the perfect destination for our eighth Mama Shelter property because the city embodies the MAMA spirit with its bustling excitement and international appeal,” said Mama Shelter Founder, Serge Trigano. “Mama Shelter Dubai will not just be a place for business meetings and flythroughs, but a place to live, work, laugh, debate, celebrate, and at the end of the night, come home to MAMA.”
Designed by Franklin Azzi Architecture, Mama Shelter Dubai will have 201 rooms and 80 residences. The architect explains, “Mama will offer a unique tower to Dubai. A pure glass coat covering a wooden skin made by each rooms’ shutters.” The rooms are sanctuaries with the comforts of home coupled with all the needs of digital modernity, with spacious king size beds and high speed Wi-Fi. With 300 square meters of space set aside for collaboration, travelers will have room to gather, create or simply hang out.
Mama Shelter will also benefit from its proximity to landmarks such as the Downtown Dubai area, the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. Alongside the concentration of lifestyle hospitality projects across Business Bay, Mama Shelter will be positioned as an iconic destination with the presence of an additional five-star hotel within the same tower.
Pawan Kachroo, Managing Director of Khamas Hospitality said, “This project is reflective of a shared vision to bring desired diversity and delight in the regional hospitality industry with fresh innovation. Through the Mama Shelter Dubai Business Bay, we intend to energize the industry with competitive experience driven offerings.”
The Trigano Family, co-founders of Club Med, created Mama Shelter eight years ago with an inaugural location in Paris. Since then the family has expanded Mama Shelter all over the world in Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux, Los Angeles and Rio de Janeiro. In February, the company announced plans to open Mama Shelter Prague in early 2018.
