Accor's core midscale hotel brand Mercure, has landed its first hotel in Hiroshima, marking the second dual-branded collaboration with Tokyu Stay in Japan, and the 20th Mercure hotel in the country.
Set in the central Hatchobori district, Mercure Tokyu Stay Hiroshima is a two-minute walk from Hiroshima Electric Railway's Hatchobori Station, offering easy proximity to the city’s shopping, dining and cultural attractions.
The hotel offers 182 rooms designed for short trips, complemented by Tokyu Stay's facilities for medium- and long-term stays.
These include Share Lounge, a coworking space and lifestyle lounge open to both hotel guests and local residents, alongside meeting rooms and a fitness centre.
Placing Hiroshima’s local creativity and craftsmanship front and centre of the guest experience are curated amenities and experiences, as well as regular partnerships with local businesses such as Aloft bakery and Mount Coffee.
“Hiroshima continues to attract increasing interest from international travellers, and we believe this hotel is ideally positioned to connect guests with the culture, creativity and warmth of the destination,” said Garth Simmons, COO, premium, midscale & economy division for Accor in Asia.
“The double-brand concept also remains relatively unique in Japan and within Accor's global network, making this partnership with Tokyu Stay a meaningful example of how two brands can come together through a shared commitment to locally rooted hospitality,” he added.
