The stylish and spirited Mama Shelter brand is set to open a new chapter in Nice, adding a splash of modern vibrancy to the Côte d’Azur’s artistic and culinary scene. Located in the emerging Riquier District near the Old Port, Mama Shelter Nice will boast 102 chic rooms, along with the brand’s first-ever rooftop pool.
Architectural and Design Marvels
Designed by the renowned architect Benjamin El Doghaïli, the hotel’s interior will mirror the city’s rich artistic heritage, drawing inspiration from legendary French painters like Matisse and Picasso who once painted the town in their iconic styles. The lobby will feature hand-painted frescoes alongside modern installations, creating an ambience that’s both historical and contemporary.
The rooms, with their bright white walls and ochre curtains, will echo the architectural style of 19th-century Niçois buildings, while the carpets designed by artist Laureline Galliot will showcase an impressive pointillist technique.
