Mercure Hotels is a brand of hotels run by French multinational corporation Accor.
Most Mercure hotels are positioned between Ibis and Novotel in the Accor estate. There is also a five star branch of Mercure hotels known as Grand Mercure with a chain of 10 Grand Mercure hotels in China under the brand name Mei Jue.[1] There are about 750 three to four-star Mercure hotels and five star Grand Mercure hotels. In Australia and New Zealand, Grand Mercure Apartments is a growing 4.5 - 5 star short and long stay apartment brand.
