Daisy Tucci, Director Sales and Marketing FLI Group, commented:
“Antwerp fashion stands for high quality, personality, craft and inspiration. These characteristics are reflected in the rooms, common areas and Lunet restaurant.”
Jorrit de Jong, Area Vice President Europe of the management partner of FLI Group, said:
“The magic of Mercure is that it is a brand where the hotel is allowed to have its own unique look and feel, and not a standardised one. That’s why, with Mercure Antwerp City Centre, we can focus on that local connection. We want movement. We want Antwerpers to come and eat at our restaurant and the children playing in the park to come and get an ice cream from us.”
Cristina de Oliveira-Frewen, SVP Franchise Operations – Accor Northern Europe, added:
“We think it’s very important that our partners also see the added value in continuously renewing our network and that the quality characteristics that go with the Mercure brand are guaranteed. We are fully confident that Mercure Antwerp City Centre has a high appeal for both business and leisure guests who want to travel to Antwerp. We are constantly strengthening our position in Belgium. Accor continues to develop in order to best meet the needs of our customers.”
Mercure currently operates 875 hotels in 61 countries.
