Mercure expands in the UK
Mercure will expand its UK portfolio by four hotels in the next four months.
Hotels in London, Scotland, Milton Keynes and Darlington have signed franchise agreements with the hotel chain, which will bring its UK network to 75 hotels.
Jonathan Sheard, managing director of operations MGallery and Mercure Hotels UK and Ireland, said: "We’re committed to significantly growing our Mercure hotel portfolio by 2015 and this will largely be driven through our growing franchise development in the UK."
First to open is the Mercure Darlington Kings Hotel, which launched last week, followed closely by the Mercure London Greenwich Hotel and the Mercure Eddleston Barony Castle Hotel and Spa in Scotland later this month.
The Mercure Milton Keynes Abbey Hill will launch in January 2013.
