A new Mama Shelter in Toulon planned for 2027

A new Mama Shelter in Toulon planned for 2027

Following openings in Nice and Marseille, Mama Shelter is continuing its expansion in the Mediterranean region with a new address planned for late 2027 in the former Évêché building, right in the heart of the Cours Lafayette.

Mama Shelter continues to expand its presence on the Mediterranean coast, with an opening scheduled for the end of 2027 in Toulon. The Ennismore group, in partnership with Groupe Sebban, has chosen an emblematic site: the former bishop's palace, a historic building undergoing renovation located in the Cours Lafayette district, renowned for its market and lively alleyways. This new address promises to be a true meeting place, offering comfort and conviviality, while contributing to the local effervescence.

Mediterranean comfort

Spread over five levels, the future Mama Shelter will offer 100 rooms, ranging in size from 21 to 32 m², some with private terraces to enjoy the mild Mediterranean climate. The hotel's entrance will be marked by a double-height lobby, in keeping with the brand's warm, quirky identity.

Mama Shelter has established itself as a benchmark in the hotel industry. A guarantee of quality: six of its eleven establishments in France are already listed by Gault&Millau, including Mama Shelter Lille (4 stars) and Mama Shelter Toulouse (3 stars).

A space for conviviality

Mama Shelter Toulon is more than just a hotel: true to its DNA, the brand intends to make it a place where everyone can live together. The restaurant and bar, set up under a glass roof, will seat over 150 people. A terrace on Place Paul Conte will complete the offer, reinforcing the link with the neighborhood. Renowned for its warm, festive atmosphere, the address will provide the ideal setting for locals and travellers to meet up in a spirit of conviviality and sharing. "This project embodies the spirit of Mama: playful, non-conformist and always full of life," says Cédric Gobilliard, General Manager of Mama Shelter at Ennismore.

A new impetus for the city

With its arrival in Toulon, Mama Shelter aims to revitalize the city center and enhance its hotel offering. "With Mama Shelter Toulon, we're going to breathe new energy into the city and create a space where locals and travelers alike can come together, celebrate and enjoy the unique Mediterranean way of life," emphasizes Cédric Gobilliard.

With this opening, the brand continues its expansion in France and internationally, following its recent establishments in Nice and Dubai, and looking forward to those planned in Singapore and Amsterdam.
