Accor has introduced its first Grand Mercure property in Solo, Indonesia, with the opening of Grand Mercure Solo Baru. The 348-key hotel joins the company's network of four properties in Solo under the MGallery, Novotel and ibis Styles brands.
Located in a prime position, Grand Mercure Solo Baru is within walking distance of Park Mall, the largest shopping mall in Solo Baru, and other major shopping centres. It provides easy access to a neighbourhood of local restaurants and tourist attractions such as Keraton Surakarta, Klewer Market, and Pandawa Water World. Meanwhile, the Adi Soemarmo International Airport and Balapan Train Station are less than 30 minutes away.
Surakarta, also known as Solo, is a key destination in Central Java, Indonesia. Thanks to cultural showcases of Javanese heritage, such as textile centres specialising in wax-dyed 'batik' fabrics, its tourism sector is rapidly expanding.
Grand Mercure Solo Baru features 348 modern rooms and suites overlooking the cityscape, an infinity pool, fitness centre and spa.
The hotel's four dining outlets invite guests to indulge in a range of culinary experiences. The all-day dining Crystal Sapphire Restaurant serves Authentic Nusantara, Asian and Western cuisine. Meanwhile, Blue Garnet Ristorante celebrates Italian flavours, and the cosy Chrysolite Lobby Lounge is the perfect spot for business meetings or to unwind after a busy day, offering a selection of traditionally brewed coffee, teas and mocktails. Lastly, the Sky Lounge on the hotel's top floor offers the perfect backdrop with picturesque views of the beautiful Merapi mountains and Solo Baru city.
In line with the Group's commitment to reducing its environmental impact, no single-use plastic items are used within rooms, food and beverage outlets and meeting facilities.
Grand Mercure Solo Baru also supports the community by utilising locally sourced products from local producers and actively participates in the national economic recovery programme and the national tourism campaigns developed by the tourism ministry and creative economies.
The 1,800 square metre Convention Hall can accommodate guests for any meetings, incentives, conventions, exhibitions, weddings, and social gatherings. There are also twelve function rooms available for any events.
