Mars is at its closest to earth: 54.6 million km

The top speed of the shuttle is: 27.870 km per hours

So: around 82 days

But that sounds quite difficult, then you still have to get back, have enough fuel (which weighs you down). On space sites, you'll find different data, from 6 months to 5 years but I just calculated under the ideal circumstance's: Smallest distance, top speed.

How long would it take for a space shuttle to travel to mars?

How long it takes a spacecraft to reach Mars depends on the changing distances between Mars and Earth as they orbit the sun, and other factors. Trips are usually planned for when Mars will be closest to Earth; the shortest is about three months. None of NASA's Space Shuttle fleet are capable of making the trip, and the remaining shuttles are due to be retired.

Why is a space shuttle incapable of reaching Mars?

NASA's space shuttles were not designed for long space missions; the initial idea was to build shuttles to reach the Moon. The present-day space shuttle can only reach low Earth orbit. The aging shuttle fleet (approaching thirty years old) is due to be retired. The Orion spacecraft will carry the next major American space missions.
