Mercure’s rapid growth in 2024 has been marked by a significant focus on Asia, with nearly 30 new hotels opening in China and 11 in Japan. This expansion reinforces Mercure’s dedication to delivering immersive local experiences while maintaining the high standards expected of a global brand.
“Reaching 1,000 hotels solidifies Mercure’s position as a leader in the midscale segment,” said Jean-Yves Minet, Global Brand President at Accor. He emphasized that the brand’s strength lies in its ability to “place-make” each destination, balancing local authenticity with global quality.
Mercure’s journey began in 1973 with the goal of unveiling the unique treasures of each destination.
Now present in 68 countries, the brand continues to enhance its portfolio with properties like Mercure Dubai Deira, set to host a celebratory event this fall, and Mercure London Earls Court, a dual-branded property inspired by London’s cultural heritage.
At the core of Mercure’s identity is its “Discover Local” program, which deepens travelers’ connection to local culture through regionally sourced menus and curated experiences. This initiative has helped the brand create a lasting impact worldwide, from Rio to Paris to Bangkok.
With this milestone, Mercure reaffirms its mission to connect travelers with the essence of their destinations, and it looks ahead to further expansion, bringing local charm to more communities globally.
