Accor’s globally recognized midscale brand, Mercure, is deepening its roots in India with the launch of Mercure Lucknow Gomti Nagar, bringing a unique blend of modern hospitality and traditional heritage to the capital of Uttar Pradesh.
Dedicated to celebrating local experiences since 1973, Mercure’s latest property is more than just a hotel—it’s a curated immersion into Lucknow’s rich Awadhi culture. From the moment guests step into the lobby, they’re greeted with design inspired by Chikankari, the city’s famed embroidery tradition with Mughal-era origins. This distinctive motif continues throughout the hotel, creating an aesthetic that is both locally rooted and globally inviting.
The property offers 109 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites, each reflecting elements of Lucknow’s storied history and craftsmanship, creating a warm yet contemporary base for travelers.
A Taste of Tradition—and Innovation
Mercure Lucknow Gomti Nagar also aims to be a gastronomic hub.
- SENSES, the all-day dining restaurant, showcases regional Awadhi flavors alongside global classics.
- LEVEL 7, the hotel’s rooftop bar, serves up creative cocktails with panoramic views of the city skyline.
- Citrique, the lobby-level lounge, provides a relaxed atmosphere perfect for unwinding over drinks or casual meetings.
Whether guests are in town for business or leisure, the hotel caters to both with two expansive banquet halls, a modern meeting room, and a dedicated events team on hand to tailor experiences.
Accor’s Strategic Growth in Cultural Hubs
Garth Simmons, Chief Operating Officer, Premium, Midscale & Economy Division, Asia at Accor, sees Lucknow as a key part of the brand’s regional growth strategy.
“With travellers increasingly seeking deeper, more meaningful connections beyond mainstream destinations, culturally rich cities like Lucknow are stepping into the spotlight,” Simmons said. “Accor is accelerating its expansion in high-potential cities across Asia, and Mercure Lucknow Gomti Nagar is a shining example of our commitment to delivering immersive and transformative travel experiences.”
A Gateway to Lucknow—and Beyond
Strategically located just 20 minutes from Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport, and with easy access to Ekana Stadium, key business districts, and iconic sites like Bara Imambara and Hazratganj Market, the hotel offers both convenience and connectivity. With the Amar Shaheed Path expressway nearby, day trips to sacred destinations like Ayodhya are also within reach.
Amit Kapoor, General Manager of the hotel, expressed confidence in the property’s role in enhancing the city’s appeal to travelers.
“Mercure Lucknow Gomti Nagar blends modern comfort with local character,” Kapoor said. “We’re proud to offer guests a welcoming base for exploration and meaningful cultural connection.”
Loyalty with a Local Touch
