Downtown property offers a rooftop pool, curated dining and Emirati-inspired interiors
Accor has opened the Mercure Hotel Abu Dhabi Downtown, the first Mercure-branded property in the city and fifth in the UAE.
To celebrate the launch, guests who are members of Accor’s loyalty programme can earn 4x bonus reward points until 30 September, enjoy exclusive discounts, complimentary room upgrades and late check-out.
Located close to Capital Garden and a short walk from the Corniche, the new Abu Dhabi hotel has 156 accommodations, including rooms, suites and one-bedroom apartments, as well as a rooftop swimming pool, a spa with sauna and a fitness centre.
Three dining venues include lobby cafe Mokaia serving coffee and pastries, Mediterranean restaurant Livi with an open kitchen and private dining room and Le Cellier on the 18th floor with views of the city skyline.
Interiors are inspired by Emirati culture, with soft desert tones, textured materials and locally influenced artwork.

“Mercure hotels are a gateway to the destination, inspiring guests to explore, connect and discover, and this opening reflects our commitment to growing locally rooted, globally trusted brands in strategic capital cities,” said Paul Stevens, Chief Operating Officer, Premium, Midscale & Economy Division, Middle East, Africa & Türkiye at Accor.
The Mercure portfolio in the UAE includes four hotels in Dubai. There is also a Grand Mercure in Dubai and the Majlis Grand Mercure Abu Dhabi, with 198 studios and suites with fully equipped kitchens.
In June, Accor opened its first Mercure-branded hotel in Aseer, a mountainous region in Saudi Arabia. The Mercure Khamis Mushait joined two other Mercure hotels in the kingdom, including the recently opened Mercure Riyadh Al Anood in the capital, and the Mercure Makkah Aziziah.
Abu Dhabi’s hotel sector generated AED846 million in revenues in April 2025, marking a 38.6% increase from AED611 million in March, according to the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and the Statistics Centre. This represents a year-on-year growth of 30.4%.
The UAE capital is expected to open several new properties before year-end, including the Mondrian Abu Dhabi.
