Mercure debuts in Myanmar

AccorHotels has officially opened its first Mercure property in Yangon’s prime district. Managed by AccorHotels, the seven-storey Mercure Yangon Kaba Aye features 183 spacious rooms and suites ideal for families and long-staying guests.

Mercure Yangon Kaba Aye is located along Kaba Aye Pagoda Road just 10 km from Yangon International Airport and a short drive from University of Yangon. Featuring high ceilings and generous floor spaces of 32 sqm to 125 sqm, the guestroom décor draws inspiration from local Myanmar culture and craftsmanship and includes traditional lacquerware.

Patrick Basset, Chief Operating Officer, AccorHotels, Upper Southeast and Northeast Asia said, “The opening of the first Mercure Yangon Kaba Aye capitalises on the travel aspirations of Myanmar’s growing domestic and international tourism. Dubbed as ‘The Garden City of the East,’ the city is a melting pot of cultural diversities and communities.”
