Singapore is home to a vibrant range of fabulous hotels. From stunning skyscraping properties to hidden boutique hotels, and eclectic 5-star seaside escapes…travellers are spoilt for choice in The Lion City. Among them, a new design-forward and community-focused hotel is set to attract travellers seeking a value-for-money, creative staycation in the Singapore from September 2025. Wonderfully, the first-ever Mama Shelter in Asia opens in the Somerset District. Here’s what to expect from energetic Mama Shelter Singapore:
Mama Shelter Singapore
Mama Shelter debuts at 110 Killiney Road in Singapore conveniently near the lively Orchard Road and New Bahru. Designed by Dion & Arles, the stylish hotel features 115 soundproof rooms (nearly half with terraces), diverse restaurants, a rooftop bar, a Mama Shop, and two rooftop pools with stunning skyline views. Plus, it boasts the first-ever Mama Shelter bunk room—ideal for families and groups of friends.
Additionally, Mama Shelter Singapore boasts the brand’s signature designs with neon signage, colourful murals, lifts attorned in patterns, eclectic furnishings, and reflect local culture to create a sense of intimacy and inclusivity.
Peranakan-style designs
Interestingly, the Mama Shelter design takes inspiration from traditional dress and local Singapore iconography. From bold contracts to playful colours, Peranakan influences like wedding-dress-inspired carpets in rooms and vibrant tiles on the rooftop, wood features, animal motifs like peacocks adding a softer touch, and more…it’s the ultimate urban oasis.
Other highlights include a hand-painted ceiling mural by Parisian street-artist Beniolys who spent three months creating it on-site. It sweeps through the restaurant, rooftop, and lift lobbies, and features peacocks, dragons, birds, sailboats, and other elements that capture Singapore’s maritime roots and character. Plus, a bespoke stained-glass panel at the entrance sets the scene of design, movement, and music upon arrival.
Mama Shelter entertainment
Wonderfully, Mama Shelter Singapore’s entertainment and creative experiences will be the soul of space. From DJs to popular artists and performers every Thursday to Sunday…you’ll be spoilt for choice at rooftop sundowners, family brunches, or late-night sets. In fact, one of the hotel’s two pools doubles as a stage for entertainment. Plus, there are arcade games, board games, and pet-friendly tables available on the ground floor.
Certainly, Singapore’s Mama Shelter is an urban oasis, blending signature quirky charm with local elements, offering a unique and authentic stay in a playful setting from September 23, 2025. Perfect for those who like to socialise, create, or work in different locations.
Food and drinks
The people-first hotel offers Mama Restaurant and Island Bar on the ground-floor. It serves an all-day brassiere menu helmed by Executive Chef Eugene Tan (formerly of Panamericana). Chef Tan brings his local spark to global favourites. Plus, you can expect a Sunday Brunch Buffet with cold cuts, homemade pastas, roast joints, dessert tables, and more. Meanwhile, the Island Bar offers refreshing drinks with a bit of personality in each glass.
Alternatively, head to the rooftop jungle oasis which boasts mosaic-tiled pools, sunken game tables, a shell fresco, wood furniture, and colourful Peranakan tiles—all next to the outdoor pool. Diners can enjoy coastal Mediterranean dishes, artisanal pizzas and cocktails, in the Mama Rooftop Bar & Restaurant or at a tucked-away dining table for some added privacy.
Additionally, Mama’s Kiss sells artisanal coffee and pastries for a quick bite to eat.
