Ennismore has announced the signing of Mama Shelter Porto, a 120-key hotel positioned among cultural landmarks, neighbourhood cafés and boutiques in the city. Interior design has been created by Dion & Arles, aiming to reflect the brand's design language alongside Porto's character.

The hotel will feature social spaces with music, a restaurant offering playful twists on classics and signature cocktails, as well as Mama Plays areas and private karaoke rooms. According to the announcement, the goal is for it to function as a social destination where music, culture and community come together.

Cédric Gobilliard, Brand COO of Mama Shelter at Ennismore, said bringing the brand to Porto "felt natural" given the city's character and community. Marcus Siggelow, Head of Asset Management at Propreal Capital Partners, said this marks the company's second hotel development in Porto and its first with Mama Shelter.

The signing is part of Mama Shelter's European expansion, which already includes locations in Paris, Marseille, Rome and Lisbon, with upcoming openings in Val Thorens, Mexico City, Amsterdam, Cape Town, Bangkok, Lake Como and Casablanca.
