Accor has Mercure Rockhampton to its growing collection of hotels across Queensland.

Refurbished in 2008, Mercure Rockhampton is located in the heart of the city, just a short drive from the Rockhampton Airport.

The eight-storey, 74-room resort overlooks the picturesque Fitzroy River and features six versatile conference spaces, an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, 24-hour reception, and easy access to Great Keppel Island and many other spectacular locations along the Capricorn Coast.

“We are delighted to welcome Mercure Rockhampton to the Accor family,” said Accor Chief Operating Officer Pacific, Simon McGrath. “By joining Accor, Mercure Rockhampton now has access to the most talented team and resources available.

“There is no doubt the decade ahead will be one of the most competitive and challenging eras in the history of the Australian hotel industry. However, the uncertainty of recent times unequivocally highlights the benefits of our scale, as well as the market strength of our brands.”

Mercure Rockhampton General Manager, Karley Beasy, added: “I am confident our well-appointed hotel will operate with great success under Accor and the Mercure brand’s internationally-renowned authentic, locally inspired service.

“With this partnership, we will continue to provide travellers with a quality accommodation and conferencing option in Rockhampton and now have the ability to leverage from Accor’s international branding, staff development opportunities, and highly valuable distribution and loyalty platform.”
