Accor has announced an exciting addition to its Grand Mercure Hotels & Resorts portfolio in Greater China with the signing of Grand Mercure Shanghai Century Park. Nestled in the bustling Pudong District, near the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, the hotel has been a cornerstone of the Shanghai community for two decades. Now, it is set to reopen in March 2025, offering an enhanced Grand Mercure experience rooted in its ‘proudly local’ ethos.
This new property joins Accor’s impressive roster of nearly 30 Grand Mercure hotels already operating in Greater China-representing over a third of the brand’s global portfolio-with more than 50 additional developments underway. Other notable openings planned for 2025 include Grand Mercure Shenyang Oriental and Grand Mercure Wuxi Huishan.
“A new addition to our Grand Mercure portfolio is a wonderful way to ring in the Chinese New Year, especially in Shanghai, one of our top growth markets,” said Gary Rosen, CEO of Accor Greater China. “Grand Mercure has deep roots in China, which has shaped much of the brand’s history and appeal. Chinese travellers are drawn to the brand for its immersive cultural experiences that ignite the senses, and we’re eager to continue building this momentum as we expand into key destinations across the country.”
Blending Local Tradition with Contemporary Elegance
Grand Mercure Shanghai Century Park captures the essence of Shanghai culture, combining its rich traditions with modern sophistication. Guests can expect vibrant décor featuring bold colours, contemporary art, and lush textiles, alongside the sounds of traditional music.
The hotel boasts 326 stylish guestrooms, including 57 suites, all designed for premium comfort with luxurious bedding, abundant natural light, and thoughtful amenities. Guests can savour elevated local and international cuisine at two restaurants and a bar, while the fitness centre, swimming pool, ballroom, meeting spaces, and executive lounge cater to corporate travellers and business events.
An Unbeatable Location
Situated at the entrance of Pudong Thumb Plaza, a popular shopping and entertainment hub, the hotel offers easy access to retail boutiques, gourmet dining, and leisure activities. Its prime location places guests within walking distance of Century Park and the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Key attractions such as Lujiazui Financial Centre, People’s Square, and the Bund are just a short drive away, with Shanghai Disneyland, the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street all reachable within half an hour.
