The hotel in Killiney Road—a five-minute walk from Somerset MRT station and Singapore's shopping belt—will have 115 rooms across seven floors.

Founded in France in 2008 by entrepreneur Serge Trigano—the former president of hospitality company Club Med—and his sons Jeremie and Benjamin, Mama Shelter has 19 properties globally. Eleven are in French cities like Nice, Toulouse and Rennes.

Mama Shelter is part of lifestyle hospitality company Ennismore—a joint venture with French hospitality group Accor—which develops and operates lifestyle brands around the world.

At the Singapore property, an entry-level room of 15 sq m will cost from $190 a night, inclusive of breakfast for two guests, for bookings made before Aug 31. Subsequently, average nightly rates will start at $240. Nearly half the rooms will come with a private terrace—a feature not found in its other properties.
