Accor has expanded its presence in India with the opening of a hotel under its midscale brand Mercure in the Chandigarh capital region that encompasses the cities of Chandigarh, Panchkula, and Mohali.
Mercure Chandigarh Tribune Chowk has 60 rooms and suites, complemented by banqueting facilities.
Its Superior Suite is specially designed to offer a conducive environment for both social gatherings and business meetings.
Besides, the hotel includes an all-day dining restaurant that serves authentic Indian delicacies crafted from locally sourced ingredients.
The newly opened property is situated 30 minutes from Chandigarh International Airport.
Accor India and South Asia operations senior vice president Puneet Dhawan said: “This vibrant addition to the Mercure family marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality.
“We are thrilled to welcome guests to indulge in memorable experiences, where every detail is meticulously crafted to exceed expectations. As we embark on this exciting journey, we invite travellers to immerse themselves in the warmth and genuine charm that define the Mercure experience.”
Mercure Chandigarh Tribune Chowk general manager Ashish Battoo said: “I am delighted to unveil our newest addition to Chandigarh's hospitality landscape. The new hotel offers a perfect blend of contemporary design, local flavours, personalised service, and an immersive experience like no other.
“Our team is committed to delivering exceptional service and creating memorable moments for every guest. We invite travellers to discover the warmth and sophistication of Mercure Chandigarh Tribune Chowk and embark on an unforgettable journey with us.”
The launch of Mercure Chandigarh Tribune Chowk is the result of a collaboration with KLG Group, Accor's franchise partner in the region.
This follows the launch of Novotel Chandigarh Tribune Chowk in 2021.
Additionally, Mercure Chandigarh Tribune Chowk is part of Accor Live Limitless (ALL), the company's lifestyle loyalty programme. Guests staying or dining at the hotel can avail the benefits of the programme, which includes access to rewards and exclusive services.
Last month, Accor announced its plans to introduce six new hotels across the premium, midscale, and economy segments, as well as three new luxury and lifestyle properties in India this year.
