Open · October 2025
Mercure Abu Dhabi Downtown opened in October 2025 on Saeed Bin Ahmed Al Otaiba Street, Accor's first Mercure-branded property in the capital and the fifth in the UAE. The 156-key hotel mixes rooms, suites and serviced apartments with three in-house dining venues, positioned as a midscale-to-upscale downtown base rather than a resort stay.

The place
The hotel sits on Saeed Bin Ahmed Al Otaiba Street in downtown Abu Dhabi, within walking distance of the Corniche and the city's central business district.
The concept
Mercure Abu Dhabi Downtown opened in October 2025 as Accor's first Mercure-branded hotel in the capital and the fifth Mercure in the UAE. The 156-key property mixes standard rooms, suites and serviced apartments — including accessible and connecting configurations — with desert-toned interiors and locally referenced artwork aimed at a business and leisure traveller who wants a dependable midscale-to-upscale base in the city centre rather than a destination resort.
Dining & wellness
Mokaia operates as an all-day café and coworking-style lounge, Livi serves a Mediterranean menu built around open-kitchen theatre and private dining, and Le Cellier, on the 18th floor, pairs a curated wine list with city views for a smaller, late-evening crowd. An outdoor pool, boutique spa and fitness centre round out the amenities.
