Mercure Hotels, a brand known for its focus on discovery and local experiences, has celebrated the opening of its 1,000th hotel in 2024.
This milestone follows the brand’s 50th anniversary in 2023 and reflects its rapid global growth. Recent expansions in China and Japan, as well as notable openings in the UK, India, and Mexico, highlight Mercure’s continued momentum in the midscale hotel market.
Key openings contributing to the 1,000th milestone include Mercure London Earls Court, Mercure Chandigarh Tribune Chowk in India, and Mercure Fukuoka Munakata Resort & Spa in Japan.

Mercure is the leading growth brand within the Accor portfolio, with over 200 new properties set to open by 2028.
“2024 has been a transformative year for Mercure,” said Jean-Jacques Morin, Group Deputy CEO of Accor. “The opening of our 1,000th destination confirms the status of a brand that has one of the largest international midscale hotel portfolios. We are proud of how Mercure has evolved, and we look forward to its continued success over the next fifty years.”
Since being acquired by Accor in 1975, Mercure has expanded from its roots in Europe to 68 countries globally. Recent growth in China, now home to over 180 Mercure properties, and Japan, where 11 new hotels opened this year, have been key to reaching this milestone.
Mercure’s appeal to hoteliers lies in its strong brand awareness and adaptability to local markets. As Camil Yazbeck, Chief Development Officer at Accor, noted, “Mercure offers hoteliers the assurance of a strong global network, premium rate positioning, and flexible design options tailored to local needs.”
Looking ahead, Mercure is set to expand further, continuing its mission to connect travelers with the authentic essence of each destination, while enriching its diverse global portfolio.
