Just a week ago, Accor Hotels increased its portfolio in Portugal with the inauguration of a new hotel, the Mercure Fátima, maintaining its commitment to investing in the country. The 72-room hotel is located five minutes’ walk from the Sanctuary of Fatima, next to the Basilica of the Holy Trinity.
The Mercure Fatima opened its doors on the 14th and has 72 rooms of various sizes. Accor described the new facilities as “the perfect choice for travellers looking for local and authentic experiences, providing a refuge linked to the symbolism and spiritual atmosphere that the city conveys.”
Accor Hotels currently has 38 hotels in Portugal under the brands Ibis, Ibis Budget, Ibis Styles, Mercure, Novotel and Sofitel. By the end of the year, the French group will also open another new brand: Mama Shelter, in Lisbon.
The hotel in Fatina is the eighth Mercure hotel in the country, following the inauguration of the Mercure Porto Centro Aliados last November.
