Mercure hotel opens in Cairns

Accor, the largest hotel operator in Australia, has opened a Mercure hotel in Cairns following a multi-million-dollar upgrade and rebrand of its Ibis Styles hotel in the Tropical North Queensland city.

The new hotel has 75 guestrooms, a pool deck, outdoor dining, and a new modern Australian restaurant – The Stanley – serving local produce. Accor Pacific Chief Executive Officer, Sarah Derry, says: “We are 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.”

Located in the heart of Cairns, the hotel is 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. n
