Accor to Open Third Mercure Hotel in South Korea on 1 August

Accor is set to expand its portfolio of hotels in South Korea with the opening of the Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae on 1 August.

The hotel, which offers convenient access to Hongdae Subway Station, boasts an all-day dining restaurant, a lobby bar, fitness centre, business corner, meeting facilities, outdoor courtyard garden, and a laundromat.

As you'd expect in Seoul, all 270 guestrooms feature the latest in technology and in-room facilities can be easily controlled via a guests’ own smart device, while Chromecast and Bluetooth speakers enhance the digital experience.

“Hongdae has become one of the top three tourist spots followed by Myeongdong and Dongdaemun when the Airport Railroad Express (AREX) opened in 2010,” said Vincent Lelay, Vice President of Operations for South Korea. “One of the hippest areas in Seoul, Hongdae is the hotspot for all the cool and trendy places in Korea. The opening of Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae reflects the distinct character and culture of the precinct and we are confident that this new addition to our current 15 hotels in Seoul will provide for even more memorable experiences.”

The Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae is the third Mercure-branded hotel in South Korea, joining a collection of 800+ addresses across 62 countries.

Patrick Basset, Chief Operating Officer, Accor, Upper Southeast & Northeast Asia and Maldives, said, “Mercure is a trusted brand that allows travellers to really immerse themselves in the destination. Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae is located in close proximity to the four universities, where the district is renowned for its bustling nightlife and underground culture.”
