It is time to wake up and smell the Colombian coffee – and the sweet aroma of a new investment opportunity. Mama Shelter Medellin is bringing its urban chic brand to Latin America, opening the doors for savvy investors to tap into one of the region’s most exciting markets.
Medellin, The Rising Star of Latin American Tourism
Once known for its troubled past, Medellin has transformed into a vibrant city, earning accolades as one of the top destinations for digital nomads and tourists alike. “The city’s renaissance is nothing short of remarkable,” said Sharan Pasricha, founder and co-chief executive officer (CEO) of Ennismore, a global collective of entrepreneurial, founder-built brands, like Mama Shelter.
“With over 1,750 travelers arriving daily, the city’s potential for hospitality investment is immense,” he adds.
Why Mama Shelter is Changing Urban Hospitality
Mama Shelter, a brand that has gained popularity in Europe, is introducing its “urban refuge” style to Latin America. With 18 hotels across nine countries and three continents, Mama Shelter has cemented its reputation for offering a combination of luxury, comfort, and local flavor.
“We want to create more than just a place to stay, so we crafted an experience that captures the essence of this vibrant city,” Pasricha explained.
Mama Shelter Medellín will open its 150-room hotel between 2026 and 2027, celebrating Colombian culture and infusing it with the international flair it is known for. The hotel’s design blends local artwork and Colombian-inspired cuisine with global trends, immersing guests in the local culture while offering world-class amenities.
More Than Just a Place to Sleep
Using advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, Mama Shelter Medellin will become a marvel of modern construction.
The hotel’s crowning glory will be its 360-degree rooftop, featuring an infinity pool, bars, a restaurant, and even a helipad. This space will serve as a destination, offering breathtaking views of Medellin’s skyline and surrounding mountains. “We wanted to establish ourselves in beloved neighbourhoods with a story to tell. We hoped that through the restaurants open to non-residents, locals would embrace Mama Shelter, and travellers would feel the city’s vibe and heartbeat,” the founder shares.
The Numbers Behind Mama Shelter Medellín’s Projected Success
The project is structured as an asset within a private equity fund managed by Dalval Investments, a professional fund manager, providing investors the opportunity to access Mama Shelter Medellín as their entry point while diversifying across other strategic assets within the fund’s portfolio.”We have created a model that allows investors to participate in the booming Latin American hotel market with the security of a well-structured fund and the backing of industry leaders,” The CEO of Dalval Investments explained. The fund structure provides tax benefits and accommodates a diverse investor base, with investments starting from 434 million Colombian pesos, approximately $98.000 USD
Moreover, Mama Shelter presents a compelling investment case with an estimated internal rate of return (IRR) of 13.71% and a projected annual appreciation rate of 7%. The hotel aims for an average occupancy rate of 69.3% over 10 years. These projections are conservative when compared to Medellin’s 2022 average occupancy of 77% and rate of $141 USD for the same segment.
Accor, a global hospitality leader with over 56 years of experience and more than 5,600 hotels worldwide supports the project. This partnership brings knowledge in hotel management and an international network to support Mama Shelter Medellín operations and marketing efforts.
