The stylish 201-room Mercure hotel has opened in the green precinct of Nusa Dua Bali, and is offering some great opening rates for travelers who continue to flock to the holiday island. Australians continue to top the arrivals charts, and Nusa Dua is a favoured destination for couples and families seeking a quieter side to life.The newly-built Mercure Bali Nusa Dua opened on 23 September 2012, just a stone’s throw from the prominent Bali Tourism Development (BTDC) complex, and the hotel is ideally located for access to the Bali International Convention Centre and the many shopping, dining and entertainment options of the Bali Collection Shopping Mall. Located a mere 14 kilometers from Bali’s International Ngurah Rai Airport and 25 minutes from the chic and lively areas of Seminyak and Kuta and Legian, the hotel is ideal for business and leisure travellers alike.

The popular Mercure brand is known for its individually-styled and personalized hotels, each with its own distinctive character. There are now 4 Mercure Hotels in Bali -Mercure Bali Nusa Dua, Mercure Resort Sanur, Mercure Bali Kuta and Mercure Bali Harvestland Kuta.

The hotel features 201 comfortable, contemporary rooms including 150 Superior rooms, 43 Deluxe rooms and 8 Junior Suites. Guests can indulge at the restaurant which serves local and international dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, sit down for a drink in the lobby or relax at the pool bar, work out in the fully-equipped fitness centre, or enjoy the hotel’s unique swimming pool, divided over two levels and connected by a waterfall.

Three meeting rooms with a capacity of up to 200 people can accommodate conferences, weddings and other events, while the business centre services and lobby internet corner round out the hotel’s business facilities.

All rooms are designed to reflect the identity and heritage of Bali, while embracing the contemporary style of Mercure. Each room is equipped with premium in-room amenities including international cable television channels and free WiFi Internet access.
