Mama Shelter Nice to open as the summer season begins in the Côte d’Azur
This month sees the opening of Mama Shelter Nice. Home to the brand’s first ever rooftop pool, with a bar, pizza oven and barbeque, Mama Shelter opens its doors in the alluring Côte d’Azur. Mama Shelter is part of Ennismore, the creative hotel group that was founded by Sharan Pasricha. The group is rooted in cultures and destinations, with a global portfolio of entrepreneurial brands.
The Côte d’Azur is one of the most popular places to visit during the summer months and this opening will bring the 11th Mama Shelter location to France. Mama Shelter Nice will provide a new offering to the Riquier district. Located close to the Old Port, in the historic centre, the hotel will occupy three buildings including one from the early 20th century with a preserved façade.
Benjamin El Doghaïli, architect and head of the Mama Shelter design studio, has embraced Nice’s artistic heritage and designed the hotel to be at one with its environment. El Doghaïli draws his inspiration from the works of the many painters who settled there, in the palettes, motifs, subjects, and collages of Matisse, Braque’s birds, Picasso’s ceramics from the Vallauris period.
In the ground floor restaurant, for lunch and dinner, guests can enjoy a Mediterranean-inspired Mama Menu – from sharing platters to vibrant salads – or opt for the daily special. Meanwhile, at the rooftop restaurant, meats, fish, and vegetables are prepared on a Big Green Egg barbecue to enhance flavour or are grilled in a Josper charcoal oven for a hint of smokiness. Pizzas from the pizza oven are served by the slice and displayed on a counter, to be enjoyed
with an accompanying glass of rosé.
Mama Shelter is located at 21 Boulevard de Riquier, 06300 Nice, France and you can discover more here: Mamashelter.com
