Global hospitality brand Mercure made its debut in the Indonesian province of East Kalimantan with the opening of Mercure Berau.
The new property is the first internationally branded hotel in Berau and offers guests an authentic portal to the region's rich cultural heritage and spectacular natural attractions, from the world-renowned Derawan and Maratua Islands to lakes, beaches, and cultural landmarks.
Located just 20 minutes from Kalimarau Airport, Mercure Berau is ideally positioned for both business and leisure travellers.
According to general manager Maksum Aksan Damanik: “At Mercure Berau, we take pride in offering guests an experience that blends modern comfort with the soul of the destination. From our locally inspired design to warm service and cultural touchpoints, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to reflect the unique charm of Berau.”
For his part, Accor’s chief operating officer for its premium, midscale, and economy division in Asia Garth Simmons added: “Indonesia continues to be a key market for Accor, and we are delighted to introduce the Mercure brand to Berau, a region filled with natural beauty and cultural significance. The opening of Mercure Berau reflects our commitment to growing sustainably in emerging destinations while offering guests a locally immersive experience led by the distinctive spirit of Mercure.”
Accor’s signature hospitality comes to Berau
With 153 stylish guest rooms, suites, and two-storey villas, Mercure Berau offers a variety of accommodation options.
Each room is designed with warm wood tones and local accents, drawing inspiration from Berau's forests and the graceful swiftlet birds found in the region. Locally inspired art and detailing bring a sense of place and discovery to every stay.
Guests can enjoy a range of dining experiences, from local and international dishes at Sanggam Bistro, to handcrafted beverages and panoramic views at the soon-to-launch Le 360° Rooftop Bar.
The Lobby Lounge offers fresh pastries and favourite coffee blends in a relaxing atmosphere, while the Pool Bar provides refreshments near the indoor swimming pool and fitness centre.
The hotel features five flexible meeting rooms and a modern ballroom that can accommodate up to 400 guests, making Mercure Berau an ideal destination for business meetings, conferences, weddings, and social gatherings. Each venue is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi and advanced audiovisual technology.
Wellness facilities at the hotel include an indoor pool with separate areas for adults and children, a fully equipped fitness centre, and in-room spa treatments inspired by traditional herbal practices.
