“Vietnam offers a great opportunity for brand expansion where it will fill a clear need in the mid-scale segment,” Basset said, adding that both of these Mercure Hotels are built in harmony with their surroundings.

The four-star international Mercure Hanoi La Gare on Ly Thuong Kiet street in the capital city of Hanoi, near tourist attractions such as the Temple of Literature, Hoan Kiem Lake and Hanoi Opera House, opens on September 1. This hotel has 102 rooms equipped with modern amenities and wireless internet access and includes restaurants, a fitness center and a business center.

The Mercure Hue city Gerbera will benefit from its prime location across from the Perfume River on Le Loi street in Hue. This 110 room hotel includes restaurants, a lobby lounge, bars, a pool and a fitness center and is scheduled to open on September 9.

Accor operates 11 hotels throughout Vietnam under the Sofitel, Grand Mercure and Novotel brand names and has committed to develop three Pullman Hotels, two Novotels, one Mercure and one ibis hotel.
