MAMA Shelter Singapore Makes Her Debut: Don't Just Stay, Live For The Night
Mama Shelter, the iconoclastic hotel brand known for blending hospitality with personality, will make her long-awaited Asian debut this September with the opening of Mama Shelter Singapore. Located on Killiney Road in the Somerset district, the 115-room property brings the brand's signature character, colour and culture to one of the world's most dynamic cities. Part of Ennismore, a global collective of lifestyle hospitality brands under Accor, Mama Shelter was born in Paris and has since grown to 20 locations worldwide, from London to Lisbon, Dubai to Nice. More than just a place to sleep, Mama Shelter Singapore is a space to live, dine, dance and connect. It's a destination where the energy flows freely, from the design to the drinks list, from the rooms to the rooftop. A NEW BREED OF HOSPITALITY Mama's bringing a new kind of hospitality to Singapore, one that celebrates community, creativity and delivers soul. Mama's not luxury, she's not budget, she's something altogether more human and desirable. It's the kind of hospitality where people from all walks of life can come together and share authentic experiences. At Mama, the hotel room is never the point of entry. The experience begins the moment you arrive. From the street, the building's sculptural exterior is framed in confident lines and colour, a fitting first impression for what's inside. Step through the doors and you're greeted by a cinematic swirl of design, music and movement. Inside, the open-plan lobby, restaurant and island bar buzz with colour, conversation and the unmistakable energy of Mama. Arcade games, board games and pet-friendly tables bring a sense of play, while a raised stage and DJ booth provide the heartbeat for regular live sets and entertainment. At Mama Shelter Singapore, entertainment is not background noise, it is the soul of the space. Rooted in Singapore's creative scene, Mama brings together DJs, artists, performers and makers who reflect the pulse of the city. From rooftop sundowners and family brunches to late-night sets and unexpected pop-ups, every occasion is a celebration. Regular programming champions bold self-expression, nostalgic joy and fresh discovery, blurring the lines between guest and local, stage and floor, hotel and home — because at Mama, everyone's part of the party. DESIGN Designed by long-time collaborators Dion & Arles, Mama Shelter Singapore is a vibrant celebration of cultural fusion and creative freedom. The interiors are layered with texture, storytelling and symbolism, blending Mama's playful roots with the rich visual language of Singapore. Neon signage, colourful murals and eclectic furnishings create a sense of intimacy and irreverence, while every corner reveals something unexpected. Even the lifts, which are lined with patterned upholstery, mirrors and moody lighting, set the tone for the journey up. Drawing on Singapore's multicultural identity, the design takes inspiration from traditional dress and local iconography. Expect bold contrasts, joyful colours and layered patterns, with no separation between good taste and bad taste, just an open invitation to express. Peranakan influences appear throughout, from wedding-dress-inspired carpets in the rooms to vibrant tiles on the rooftop and around the pizza oven. Animal motifs like peacocks are woven into soft furnishings, while details such as bamboo-shaped furniture legs, wooden beads and turned wood features create a rich visual language. A bespoke stained-glass panel at the entrance adds an unexpected touch on arrival. The rooftop is imagined as a jungle clearing, surrounded by tropical greenery and mosaic-tiled pools. Sunken game tables, a shell fresco and Peranakan tiles bring colour and texture, while organic shapes and natural wood furniture form pockets for privacy or play. Almost half the rooms come with private terraces, a new high for Mama, and a rooftop pool brings a new resort-style energy to the brand. Anchoring it all is a monumental ceiling mural by Parisian street artist Beniloys, who spent three months on site to hand-paint a sweeping narrative through the restaurant, rooftop and lift lobbies. Featuring peacocks, tigers, dragons, birds, sailboats and garden scenes, the mural captures Singapore's maritime roots, multicultural character and Garden City spirit. Mama Shelter Singapore is both a visitor and a resident, a ship in the harbour flying her own flag. DINING: A RESTAURANT WITH ROOMS ABOVE IT At Mama Shelter, the restaurant is the reason you come, the room is just a bonus, and Mama Shelter Singapore is taking this to the next level. On the ground floor, Mama Restaurant and Island Bar serve an all-day brasserie-style menu that's playful, soulful and just a little mischievous. Executive Chef Eugene Tan, formerly of Panamericana fame, brings local spark to international favourites. The drinks list, developed in collaboration with acclaimed bartender Hazel Long of Junior the Pocket Bar, blends fresh signatures, local ingredients and plenty of personality in every glass. On Sundays, Mama's signature brunch delivers a generous all-out spread that's made for lingering. It's relaxed, a little indulgent and perfect for friends, families or the morning after. Expect cold cuts, cheeses, fresh and fulfilling salads, pastas and roast joints, along with playful signatures. The dessert table seals the deal. Everything is homemade, hearty and full of flavour, just how Mama likes it. Up at Mama Rooftop Bar & Restaurant, Mama offers an escape within the city. Surrounded by tropical greenery and mosaic-tiled pools, the space is both relaxed and theatrical. The air-conditioned restaurant provides a cool retreat, while low-slung loungers and striped umbrellas invite guests to linger longer. One of the hotel's two pools doubles as a stage for DJ sets and live performances, while the rooftop restaurant serves fresh, coastal Mediterranean dishes designed for sharing. Three tucked-away dining tables offer the ultimate setting for a rooftop dinner party, perfect for groups looking for a little privacy without losing the vibe. From artisanal pizzas to spritz jugs, it's Mama at her most playful with skyline views to match. EVERYONE'S WELCOME Mama Shelter Singapore is home to 115 guest rooms, all designed with comfort, cleverness and character in mind. Concrete walls are softened by patterned textiles and woven headboards. Carpets are inspired by Peranakan motifs, sheer lampshades contrasting with the occasional Bugs Bunny mask. The brand's first-ever bunk bedroom makes its debut here, ideal for families or groups of friends. All rooms come with five-star bedding, 100 percent satin cotton sheets, soundproofing, large screens with films on demand, and bathroom amenities by Ink & Water, an Australian brand known for its clean, cruelty-free formulations. Downstairs, the Mama Shop exists for guests to take a little piece of Mama home with them, as well as online at with a tightly-edited collection of T-shirts, caps, hoodies, tote bags and Mama's signature Ambiance fragrance. LOCATION: WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD Positioned between Orchard Road and the lifestyle precinct of New Bahru, Mama Shelter Singapore offers direct access to some of the city's most exciting retail, dining and cultural experiences. A short walk from Somerset MRT, the hotel sits at the crossroads of Singapore's history and its ever-evolving future and makes an ideal base for locals, tourists and business travellers alike. The property is led by General Manager Xavier Pougnard, who brings extensive experience in the hospitality industry to Mama's first Asian outpost. Known for his blend of precision, creativity and people-first leadership, Xavier is focused on building a culture rooted in fun, inclusivity and the highest standards.

Heatwaves and tourism: when the heat redraws the holiday map
As heatwaves intensify year after year, the tourism sector is facing profound changes in booking behaviour and increased exposure to natural risks. This is a hot topic today, as discussed by Vanguélis Panayotis, CEO of MKG Consulting and Hospitality ON, during an interview with BFM. Listen to Vanguélis Panayotis' interview with BFM on the impact of climate change on the tourism industry here (in French). The record temperatures recorded in recent years are no longer the exception but are becoming the norm. In 2024, the World Meteorological Organisation confirmed that July had been the hottest month ever recorded globally. In 2025, the phenomenon continued, with peaks of over 45°C in Andalusia, extreme temperatures in California and on the Mediterranean coast, with concrete repercussions on tourist numbers, site safety and the very perception of summer travel. Freeze on bookings in overheated areas More and more travellers are now avoiding certain destinations considered 'too hot', even in high season. In July 2025, several traditionally popular regions such as the interior of the Var, the Balearic Islands and Athens experienced a slowdown in hotel bookings during heatwave periods. For example, bookings fell by nearly 18% in Seville during the second half of July, according to data from MKG Consulting, while temperatures exceeded 43°C every day. We want a guarantee of sunshine, not a guarantee of heatwave. Vanguélis Panayotis Families, especially those with young children, and older people are changing their travel habits. Bookings are shifting to more temperate areas or alternative destinations, which are often more affordable. Those who haven't booked yet will be able to change their plans. Vanguélis Panayotis Fire risks: a major source of anxiety High temperatures, beyond being uncomfortable, now pose a real risk. As early as 2023, Aquitaine experienced emergency evacuations due to forest fires in Gironde. This episode triggered a wave of cancellations, as Vanguélis Panyotis recalls. We have seen other similar episodes in recent years: Rhodes Island (Greece, summer 2023): more than 20,000 tourists evacuated urgently in the middle of the season. California (2024–2025): hotels in Napa Valley and around Yosemite saw their business abruptly suspended due to uncontrollable fires. Provence (July 2025): several campsites evacuated in the Haut-Var following fires near wooded areas. These events create fragility in the tourist image of certain areas, where crisis management and prevention become a key focus of communication and anticipation. The rise of the 'coolcation': coolness as a new luxury In response to these new climatic constraints, a new trend is emerging: the 'coolcation'. This term, a contraction of 'cool' and 'vacation', reflects a growing desire to spend holidays in temperate environments. The coolcation is a current trend, with more and more people seeking coolness during the summer. Vanguélis Panayotis The French Alps, Auvergne, Vosges, Ireland, Canada and Scandinavia are seeing significant growth in interest, particularly through searches on OTA platforms and stays in holiday cottages. Usually popular in the off-season or in the middle of winter, these destinations could well overshadow Mediterranean countries during the summer period. Coolcationing primarily attracts families, seniors and young parents seeking thermal comfort and nature preserved from the effects of climate change. But it also appeals to younger generations, who are more inclined to stray from the classic itineraries adopted by the baby boomer generation in favour of less crowded, more immersive and often less expensive destinations. Rural areas are becoming part of the tourism landscape Like the mountains, rural areas are benefiting from these new aspirations thanks to their many assets, such as cool temperatures, wide open spaces, authenticity and affordable prices. This unintended repositioning offers a new opportunity for regions that were previously not very integrated into major tourist flows. In certain areas of the Massif Central, the rural countryside of the Pyrenees and the Quercy plateaus, booking rates for the 2025 summer season are well above those of the previous summer, with customers seeking peace and quiet, nature and a slower pace of life. Consequences for hospitality professionals With this in mind, tourism operators must now integrate climate criteria as a strategic variable rather than a simple external factor. This translates into several developments: Technical improvements: air conditioning, natural ventilation, shaded areas, limiting heat-absorbing materials, HQE or sustainable certifications Marketing communication: highlighting thermal comfort, 'cool' activities, adapted schedules (early morning or evening) Seasonal repositioning: some establishments are shifting their peak activity to June or September, which are milder months but increasingly popular Towards a new tourism calendar? All these signs point to a profound transformation in our relationship with summertime. In the short term, professionals will have to deal with more frequent heatwaves and extreme weather events. In the medium term, the tourism calendar itself could be rethought, with a rise in popularity of shoulder seasons and a focus on destinations offering climate refuge. The challenge will therefore be twofold: ensuring customer comfort while preserving the sustainability of the regions. A complex equation, but one that is essential if hospitality is to remain desirable... even at 40 degrees. View source
