About the Mercure brand

Mercure Hotels offer so much more than a place to find comfort and sleep –they are a portal to discovery, a springboard to exploration. Since its founding in 1973, Mercure has made it its mission to enlighten guests to the treasures of the location they are in. The network prides itself on offering high-quality standards with a true take on locality. From the moment guests arrive –– in one of our 950+ Hotels across 60+ countries –they are instantly immersed in a locally inspired atmosphere. Everything from the decorative design to a passion for local food and beverage discoveries is rooted in the unique features of each destination.
