Mercure Surpasses 1,000 Hotels Worldwide, Continuing Dynamic Growth

Mercure, one of the leading hotel brands under the Accor group, has surpassed the impressive milestone of 1,000 properties worldwide, solidifying its position in the midscale segment. The brand’s rapid growth is particularly evident in 2024, with nearly 30 new hotels opening in China and 11 in Japan. A major highlight was the launch of the world's largest Mercure hotel – the Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre, boasting 989 rooms and drawing inspiration from Singapore’s Chinatown.

In Poland, Mercure's portfolio currently includes 26 hotels, with the most recent addition being the Mercure Szczyrk Resort, opened in September 2024. This flagship property offers 447 elegantly designed rooms, all with views of Skrzyczne, the highest peak in the Silesian Beskids. Guests can enjoy multiple dining options, a well-equipped wellness area, and extensive conference facilities, making it an ideal destination for both tourists and business travelers.

Since its founding in the 1970s and joining the Accor group in 1975, Mercure has established itself as one of the most recognizable hotel brands globally. The brand’s international expansion began with the opening of its first overseas hotel in Lisbon in 1983 and continued across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Australia. By 2024, the network had surpassed 1,000 properties in 68 countries.

The coming years promise continued growth, with plans to open over 200 new hotels by 2028. This ambitious strategy is driven by the increasing appeal of the brand, which offers locally inspired experiences and unique designs tailored to the regions where its hotels are located. In Poland, Mercure continues to attract guests with a diverse range of amenities in key cities such as Kraków, Warsaw, Gdynia, and Białystok.

Mercure not only excels in blending history with modernity but also in fostering strong partnerships with local hotel owners and operators. As a result, each property within the network offers something distinctive, and the brand continues its journey to further strengthen its global standing.
