International hospitality group Accor has announced the opening of its largest Mercure-branded hotel in the world, the 989-key Mercure Icon Singapore City Centre. Room rates start from $195.

The property is located at 8 Club Street, at the corner of Club Street and Cross Street. Local hotel operator Worldwide Hotels bought the site in 2019 through a government land sale tender for $562.2 million.

The hotel’s location between Chinatown and the CBD inspired the design, with a lobby that features an LED mural and artworks of conic shophouses by local artist Ripple Root.

Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows or balconies and eco-conscious amenities, including filtered water dispensers and biodegradable toiletries.

The hotel will house six dining options, including the Michelin Guide-listed restaurant, L’antica Pizzeria da Michele, says Garth Simmons, COO of Accor’s premium, midscale and economy division in Asia. Other amenities include a swimming pool, gym and a wellness deck.

The hotel is directly connected to two MRT stations: the Telok Ayer MRT Station on the Downtown Line, and the Chinatown Interchange Station for the Northeast and Downtown Lines.

How Paris is fleecing tourists this summer
A typical trip to Paris involves wandering around art galleries, eating croissants in Amelie-esque cafés and staying in a bijou hotel. This year, however, is not a typical one. It’s an Olympic year, and with three million tourists expected to descend on the City of Light, prices have risen in kind. Whether you’re visiting for the Games itself, or just for a standard city break, all of those stereotypical Parisian activities are going to cost considerably more this summer.
