Mama Shelter sets its sights on Rome

Initially scheduled for May, we will have to wait a few more weeks to see Mama Shelter to take its first steps in Italy. The lifestyle chain, which is part of the Accor group, has just announced that the Mama Roma will open its doors next July. The new Roman address is expected to be in the Prati district, on the right bank of the Tiber, not far from the Vatican.

a hotel, a lively urban refuge, a gastronomic address for those seeking authentic flavours, and a place to work, relax and have fun

Like the brand's other representatives, Mama Roma doesn't intend to confine itself to accommodation, and intends to establish itself as a new trendy hub. " Mama Roma will be a hotel, a lively urban refuge, a gastronomic address for those seeking authentic flavours and a space for work, relaxation and entertainment, where different lifestyles and environments influence each other. "warn the company's managers.

In addition to the 217 rooms, business travellers will discover a rooftop, open from early morning until late at night, with a cocktail bar and solarium. With a view over Rome and the dome of St Peter's... When it comes to gastronomy, business travellers can opt for the Giardino d'Estate or the Giardino d'Inverno, and - of course - indulge in the wood-fired pizzeria.

Mama Roma will also see the French brand inaugurate its very first spa, with an indoor pool, sauna, hammam and fitness centre. An indoor swimming pool is also on the programme. On the business side, the establishment will host two "Ateliers", meeting spaces for up to 50 people. And for a break, participants can head to the neighbouring Break Room, with its giant table football and outdoor table tennis area.

With the inauguration of Mama Roma, Mama Shelter is adding a much-awaited destination to its catalogue, as Serge Trigano, co-founder of the brand, points out: " Rome is a magical city par excellence. Its history, totally and miraculously preserved, captivates us at every street corner. And at the same time, the Romans have a savoir vivre and elegance that give it its charm and modernity. So it's been a dream of ours since the beginning of the Mama adventure. It's going to happen this year, and we'll be located right next to the Vatican, just a few metro stops from the city centre. The Mama will have everything that makes us who we are: restaurants, a rooftop, designer rooms, a colourful lobby and a spa with an indoor pool. We have also added a library where we will offer our guests a sample of the most magical Italian arts and literature. ".
