A few months after unveiling its new look, Mercure is inviting guests to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Over a 40-day period, from September 16 to October 25, more than 700 hotels in 51 countries will celebrate this birthday. In keeping with its values of authenticity, commitment and curiosity, the brand and its hotels have designed a series of gastronomic and cultural surprises and events for clients keen to enjoy local experiences.
40 years, 40 days of surprises!
Mercure hotels have planned 40 days of festive, exclusive, unexpected and locally inspired celebratory events designed to enchant their guests, both young and old!
All the countries where Mercure operates in are getting ready to celebrate, from Rio to Moscow, in Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
In the UK, the leading midscale hotel brand is reviving classic retro dishes with a modern twist for guests to enjoy. The limited edition £19.73 set menu and ’40 Minute Happy Hour’ drinks which include 1970s-inspired cocktails will launch on 24th September and is available in select hotels across the Mercure UK network.
The trip down gastronomic memory lane includes Prawn Cocktail, parma ham with melon and mushroom vol-au-vents; followed by tournedos rossini of filet mignon, brioche crouon, served with pan-fried foie gras, truffle and madeira reduction, or duck a l’orange; and finished off with tempting desserts including Black Forest Gateau served with cherries jubilee and popping candy, and the classic Arctic Roll served with a jelly macaroon and lemon sherbert. These are just some of the quintessential dishes appearing on the limited edition menu.
