Gladstone Welcomes A New-Build Mercure
Mercure Gladstone has opened its doors and welcomed its first guests less than a year since construction began on the new build hotel.
The contemporary 4.5-star hotel sits alongside the Yaralla Sports Club and features 60 guestrooms and state-of-the-art leisure and meeting facilities, making it one of the most exciting developments to hit the Gladstone region.
Located just minutes from Gladstone CBD, the stylish hotel features four different room types, with lead-in rooms boasting queen size beds and private balconies. Privilege rooms feature a king size bed, espresso machine and complimentary chocolates, while the One Bedroom Suite features two queen size beds and a sofa bed – making it a perfect choice for larger groups and families. All guestrooms come with work desks, WiFi access and all guests are offered complimentary airport transfers.
Mercure Gladstone has five contemporary conference and event spaces and the hotel can cater for up to 1,000 delegates, placing it in a strong position to host large MICE groups, meaning more business for the region.
For leisure guests, upon checking-in to the hotel they’re given access to the Yaralla Sports Club which allows them free reign of the club’s impressive fitness centre, while Accor Advantage Plus members are able to take up their benefits at Yaralla’s Pacinos restaurant.
Adding to this, Mercure Gladstone guests can tee off from one of three 18-hole golf courses and upon presentation of a Mercure Gladstone room key, gain free entry to Gladstone’s local cinema.
Located just 2km from the centre of town, the hotel is in an ideal position to explore the attractions of Gladstone and the wonders of the wider region, including the Southern Great Barrier Reef, home to one of the world’s best diving sites.
Accor currently operates 30 properties in Queensland ranging from the Formule 1, Ibis and Mercure brands through to the Grand Mercure, Novotel, and Sofitel brands, plus 29 Mercure hotels across Australia.
Rates at Mercure Gladstone start from $295.
