Mama Shelter Residences Cape Town: New branded residences rising in the City Centre
Located on Bree Street – named one of the world's coolest streets by Time Out in 2024 – Mama Shelter Residences Cape Town features 62 fully serviced studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences, alongside a vibrant 127-key hotel, all under one iconic roof. This launch marks Mama Shelter's first residential and hotel offering in South Africa.
The Mama Shelter brand was born in 2008, when the Trigano family (co-founders of Club Med) opened the first hotel in Paris' vibrant east, giving birth to a fresh way of hosting modern travellers. It combined design-led interiors with lively restaurant and bar spaces, knowledgeable staff and the care that only your Mama could provide – all with an affordable price tag. Since then, the brand has become a dynamic market leader in partnership with Ennismore – the world's largest and fastest-growing lifestyle hospitality company. Grand Mama 3 bedroom living room.
The residences are part of a landmark mixed-use redevelopment at 111 Bree Street, led by Kasada – a pan-African real estate private equity firm focused on hospitality – in partnership with Western Cape-based property and development company, Ingenuity. Sales are managed locally by Pam Golding Properties and globally by Savills.
