World’s Largest Mercure Opens in Singapore

The new 989-room Mercure Icon Singapore City Centre offers stylish accommodation adorned with local touches.

Accor’s midscale brand Mercure has opened Mercure Icon Singapore City Centre, the largest Mercure hotel in the world.

At Mercure hotels, guests can immerse in a locally inspired ambience where every detail reflects the distinctive characteristics of the destination. Drawing inspiration from the nearby Chinatown’s colourful façades and the urban vibe of its central business district location, the new Mercure hotel‘s design creates a stimulating sense of space that embodies the neighbourhood’s heritage-rich surrounds.  This design approach is expressed in the hotel’s expansive lobby with an LED mural and artworks of the iconic shophouses by local artist Ripple Root.

Ideal for leisure seekers and business travellers alike, the guestrooms provide a cosy retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows or balconies. All rooms are equipped with eco-conscious amenities, including filtered water dispensers and biodegradable bathroom amenities.

Mercure Icon Singapore City Centre stands out as a culinary destination on Club Street, offering six distinct dining experiences. Chara Brasserie, an all-day dining restaurant, specialises in authentic Mediterranean buffets alongside Asian and Pacific favourites. At the hotel lobby, Klara Café and Bar offers a fusion of international and local delights, coupled with specially crafted cocktails and drinks.

Debuting in Singapore is L’antica Pizzeria da Michele, a renowned establishment from Naples – a Michelin Guide-listed restaurant that was featured in the ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ movie, drawing long lines for its signature Margherita and Marinara pizzas in Naples. Helmed by veteran French Chef Michael Muller, La Table d’Emma offers a blend of Alsace traditions and classic French cuisine in ‘La table d’amis’ – or ‘the friends’ table’ – fashion.

Guests can enjoy sushi at Ashino, craft beer at Upward Taproom, and homegrown coffee at TAG Espresso, which are opening later in the second quarter of 2024.

The hotel’s Landscape Deck is an oasis of wellness and serenity, where guests can enjoy an invigorating dip in the swimming pool or rejuvenate their mind and body at the tranquil wellness deck.  Fitness enthusiasts are catered for with a well-equipped gym.

Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre invites guests to an unparalleled adventure right at their doorstep, where the charming shophouses of Club Street, Ann Siang Hill, and Duxton Hill offer a blend of exquisite dining and vibrant street art. Steps away, the alleys of Telok Ayer and Chinatown allure with authentic hawker fare.
