Mama Shelter’s maximalist style and outsized personality finally make their African debut. Housed in the former Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital, Mama Cape Town puts the cultural hotspots of Bree Street on the doorstep, with Greenmarket Square and the flower sellers of Adderley Street nearby.

Beyond its flamboyant doors, 127 cocooning rooms await, drenched in South African motifs while higher up, Mama Skypool crowns the hotel, with sweeping views from Table Mountain to the Atlantic Seaboard.

No one treats your taste buds quite like Mama. At the restaurant, experience Mediterranean hospitality and indulge in Greek-inspired flavours. Add the Island Bar, poolside cocktails, live music and DJ sets, plus a fully equipped coworking space and three private Ateliers, and Mama has every part of the day covered.
