Accor grows its presence in regional Queensland with Mercure Rockhampton, rebranded from the Travelodge Hotel Rockhampton under a franchise agreement.
Mercure Rockhampton is located in the heart of the city overlooking the picturesque Fitzroy River, and is just a short drive from the Rockhampton Airport.
Accor Chief Operating Officer Pacific, Simon McGrath, said: “We are delighted to welcome Mercure Rockhampton to the Accor family. 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.”
Refurbished in 2008, the eight-storey, 74-room resort 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.
Mercure Rockhampton General Manager, Karley Beasy, said: “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.”
Mercure Rockhampton joins a network of over 50 Mercure properties across Australia and New Zealand and more than 810 worldwide.
