From four swimming pools to an outdoor cinema, here’s what we know about the hip hotel.
Dubai is packed with luxury hotels, but if you’re looking for somewhere hip, Mama Shelter Dubai should be on your radar. The new hotel is now open to guests, and its oh-so-cool vibes have us excited.
Mama Shelter Dubai is being housed in a new Franklin Azzi Architecture-designed building in Business Bay. The building encompasses 197 rooms in three sizes: Medium, XL and XXL Mama Crazy Suite. Some rooms have a view of the Burj Khalifa.
Accommodations are designed with luxury and comfort in mind. They feature 100% satin cotton sheets, five-star bedding, and organic bathroom amenities from the exclusive Mama Skin range. Guests can also enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi and a selection of films, ensuring every detail enhances their stay.
Mama Shelter Dubai will shake up Dubai’s Business Bay, and millennials and Gen Z will feel right at home in this alluring gem in the desert. The hip hotel has four swimming pools, one of which features a semi-submerged bar. There is also a multi-purpose gym and an outdoor cinema with a lounge area and DJs.
Dining experiences include Mama Skypool for light bites and superb sips, an Italian-style restaurant called Mama Trattoria, and a traditional day-to-night kitchen known as Mama Restaurant with foosball tables and DJ Sets. The latter includes a wine cellar with cosy banquettes offering views of Business Bay and a hidden bar tucked away behind the stage.
From the striking ceiling adorned with giant neon lights at the entrance to the eclectic mix of luxurious and unconventional furnishings, the ambience is inviting and mesmerising. Every corner of the hotel is thoughtfully designed to tell a story, providing a social hotspot for post-work drinks, a full-on party, or remote working.
Mama Shelter hotels are known for having fun additions such as photo booths and screening rooms, as well as practical additions such as co-working spaces and meeting spots. Mama Shelter Dubai will be no different, boasting an extensive co-working space with five ateliers. The world’s 19th Mama Shelter property boasts colourful walls, eccentric hanging decorations, and mosaic steps to brighten up every corner of this advantageous address.
Mama Shelter was launched in 2008 in Paris, France, by the Trigano family, and can now be found in London, Belgrade and Rio de Janeiro. Mama Shelter Dubai is being created in partnership with Accor and Ennismore, so the same people that bought you some of Dubai’s trendiest hotels – 25hours Hotel One Central, SLS Dubai Hotels and Residences, and SO/Uptown Dubai included.
Bookings can be made for stays, starting at AED 650 per room per night for the entry-level Medium Mama rooms.
Mama knows best.
