The Accor Group has opened its 300th hotel in the Asia-Pacific region, the Grand Mercure Xidan Beijing (formerly the Marco Polo). This hotel offers 296 rooms and suites, and is ideally located in the heart of the Xidan shopping district, across from the famed Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square and near the Financial Street business district.

Accor is expected to open six new Mercure hotels in the Asia-Pacific region by year-end 2007.

The Mercure chain is already present in the Asia-Pacific region with 17 unique hotels that have a strong regional character, particularly in China with the Mercure Shanghai Baolong (372 rooms), the Grand Mercure Xian on Renmin Square (202 rooms) and the Grand Mercure Shenzhen Oriental Ginza(481 rooms).
