Shanghai is going 'Grand' with the launch of Accor's Grand Mercure hotel brand, bringing a distinctive new style to the cosmopolitan commercial center of China.<\/p>\n
\"We are very excited to launch Grand Mercure in Shanghai as the latest in our luxury collection of city hotels,\" said Brian Deeson, Senior Vice President Asia Pacific & CEO Greater China.<\/p>\n
Grand Mercure Baolong Hotel, Shanghai enters the Accor network in January, building on Accor's already substantial presence in the city.<\/p>\n
The hotel has completed the first part of an extensive renovation that will be conducted in two phases with the final phase scheduled to be completed over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n
This final renovation will upgrade Grand Mercure Baolong Hotel, Shanghai to make it eligible to receive the China National Tourism Association's exclusive five star rating. During the two phases all public areas and rooms will be renovated, and a new column-less ballroom with roof top swimming pool and modern fitness centre will be added to the hotel.<\/p>\n
This will be an important part of the first wave of an aggressive expansion of the Grand Mercure brand around China. Accor introduced the brand to China in 2005, with the launch of Grand Mercure on Renmin Square, Xian and the group is looking to expand the network into major resorts and commercial capitals around Asia Pacific.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
