The Grand Mercure brand has launched its first hotel in the city of Batam, Indonesia. Part of the Accor Group, the new upscale hotel is perfect for business and leisure purposes, and provides guests with an immersive cultural experience, blending modern comfort with Indonesian heritage. Grand Mercure Batam Centre is situated near the Batam International Ferry Terminal–offering an affordable staycation for travellers, families, and holidaymakers alike just 45 minutes from Singapore. Here’s why you need to stay there at least once.
What makes the Grand Mercure Batam Centre appealing?
The stunning five-star hotel features 230 rooms and suites, each designed to reflect the cultural richness of Riau Islands, incorporating the traditional Batik Gonggong motif in its decor and staff uniforms. Visitors can expect to soak up gorgeous views of the surrounding city throughout the hotel.
Additionally, Grand Mercure Batam Centre is located just five minutes from the Batam International Ferry Terminal–so it offers convenient access to both Singapore and Malaysia.
Travellers can enjoy a range of amenities, including a scenic outdoor pool, a sun terrace, a full-service spa, a modern gym, flexible meeting spaces, family zones such as a children’s club, the Rarantira Grand Ballroom that can accommodate up to 1,200 guests, and much more. The best part is that the cheapest rooms begin at S$75 per night.
Delightfully, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant Ambrosia serves local Batam specialties, alongside Western and Asian favourites, while Celeste Cafe and Lounge offers lighter refreshments by the pool.
Particularly, Grand Mercure Batam Centre is appealing due to its close proximity and easy accessibility via ferry. Although, the hotel’s blend of modern luxury with authentic Indonesian culture, and affordable rooms, makes it a unique weekend getaway destination no matter your age. Book here.
