The hotel will eventually offer 1,015 rooms

AccorHotels has revealed that the world’s largest Mercure will open its doors next month.

Located on Dubai’s main Sheikh Zayed Road, Mercure Dubai Barsha Heights Hotel Suites & Apartments is currently undergoing a major refurbishment that will continue until the end of 2018.

This will include the addition of more rooms, and by the time the project is complete, the 1,015-room hotel will be the largest Mercure property in AccorHotels’ global portfolio.

“We are delighted to enter into another high-profile agreement… to further elevate the Mercure brand within the United Arab Emirates with the largest Mercure hotel in our global network,” said Olivier Granet, AccorHotels’ managing director & chief operating officer for the Middle East & Africa.

Accommodation at the upscale hotel will include a mix of rooms, suites and apartments with one or two bedrooms. The property will also feature four restaurants, including one with a shisha lounge, a lounge, spa, swimming pool, and 400m² of meeting space.

Mercure Dubai Barsha Heights Hotel Suites & Apartments joins the brand’s portfolio of 23 properties currently in operation and under development in the Middle East.
