New Mercure hotel in Cairns
ACCOR, the largest hotel operator in Australia, welcomed on Tuesday, January 10, its leading Mercure hotel brand back to the coastal holiday hotspot of Cairns in Tropical North Queensland with the opening of Mercure Cairns.
The new hotel emerges following a multimillion dollar upgrade and rebrand of ibis Styles Cairns.
The Mercure comprises 75 spacious guestrooms, including Standard Queen, Standard Twin Singles, Standard Twin, Superior King Room, Family Room, Loft Spa Room, Executive King Room, a pool deck and a new modern Australian restaurant – The Stanley - serving the finest local produce.
The makeover of the ideal Cairns hotel brings a new level of style to the accommodation landscape in the city without compromising on its relaxed Queensland coastal lifestyle.
Mandala Hospitality Group Manager, Murray Emerton, said it was exciting to begin this chapter in Cairns.
“We are excited to be working with Accor to bring Mercure Cairns to Far North Queensland and feel that the refurbishment of this asset will provide a new look to the Cairns market for our leisure and corporate guests,” Mr Emerton said.
Accor Pacific Chief Executive Officer Sarah Derry said they were delighted to open Mercure Cairns.
“Holding appeal for both leisure and business travellers, Mercure Cairns has been tailored to suit travellers who value quality accommodation, incredible guest experiences, great dining and leading design,” Ms Derry said.
“Mercure is the largest and fastest growing global midscale hotel brand in Australia, and, with its genuine warmth and excellent guest service, the popularity of Mercure Cairns is assured.”
Surrounded and inspired by nature, the hotel boasts a curated design of cool and coastal aesthetics from leading Australian designer Scott Carver, and acts as a meeting place - with the hotel lobby, restaurant and outdoor dining and lounge area providing opportunities to congregate, work, dine and relax.
On the hotel’s ground floor, The Stanley serves a delicious modern Australian menu of fresh and local produce.
The restaurant has been carefully designed to marry the coastal charm of the region with a refined yet casual dining experience.
The restaurant’s comfortable and stylish indoor/outdoor spaces transition seamlessly from day to night and evoke a sensory experience through quality touches, locally-sourced handmade elements and a focus on ambience.
Located in the heart of Cairns, Mercure Cairns is perfectly placed just two blocks from the Esplanade and across the road from Cairns Aquarium, Munro Martin Parklands, and Cairns Performing Arts Centre.
The Night Markets and food court, casino, Reef Fleet Terminal and convention centre are just a short walk away.
Mercure Cairns is located at 15 Florence St. For more information, visit https://all.accor.com/australia/index.en.shtml
