Mercure, a world-leading brand of Accor, announces the opening of Mercure Hotel Abu Dhabi Downtown; its newest addition to the growing portfolio in the United Arab Emirates.
Located on Saeed Bin Ahmed Al Otaiba street, in the heart of the capital, the newly opened property brings the brand’s signature blend of local character and contemporary comfort to one of Abu Dhabi’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
Just 40 minutes away from Zayed International Airport, the hotel features 156 beautifully designed rooms, suites and apartments, including accessible and connecting rooms to suit all travel needs. Inspired by Emirati culture and the natural beauty of the UAE, the interiors reflect soft desert tones, textured materials, and locally influenced artwork creating a warm and welcoming environment that feels distinctly rooted in place.Guests can enjoy a diverse range of experiences, from relaxing in the hotel’s boutique spa and fitness centre, to hosting meetings and events across four meeting spaces and an elegant ballroom. For those seeking a taste of the region and beyond, Mercure Abu Dhabi’s dining collection brings together bold flavours and social flair.
Mokaia, the hotel’s café and lounge area, is perfect for relaxing, socialising, or working remotely. It offers fresh coffee and tasty pastries.
Livi, the hotel’s Mediterranean restaurant, features an open kitchen and a private dining room that reflects the love of Mediterranean cuisine and offers fresh and flavourful dishes in a laid-back setting.
On the 18th floor, Le Cellier, invites guests to enjoy curated wines while taking in the views of the city skyline. The food menu is a delicious counterpart to the wine selection, enhanced by a dimply lit space that feels exclusive and relaxed.
Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, is a destination that blends rich tradition with modern sophistication, and Mercure Abu Dhabi Downtown places guests just moments from the action. From Qasr Al Hosn and the Al Hosn Festival to flagship events like the Formula 1 Grand Prix and NBA Abu Dhabi Games, the city’s top cultural and entertainment highlights are easy to reach by foot or bus.
