Mercure Portsea opens this weekend
Accor is set to open its first hotel in Victoria’s coastal resort town Portsea, with the opening of Mercure Portsea Golf Club & Resort, located just 1½ hours south of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula.
Opening 1 June, the new build Mercure Portsea Golf Club & Resort has been developed by Portsea Golf Club as part of a fully integrated multi-million dollar development incorporating a new club house, accommodation and function complex. The Mercure offers 24 state-of-the-art accommodation rooms and excellent facilities for both business and leisure travellers, including an on-site restaurant and conference facilities that can cater for corporate events, meetings and weddings for up to 300 people.
Accor’s Duncan Mars has been appointed general manager of the property and is confident the Mercure will be beneficial for both the golf club and Portsea’s tourism industry.
“By partnering with Portsea Golf Club it has enabled us to add to Portsea’s tourism offering and cater to the growing demand for premium accommodation by leisure travellers. The Mercure will also provide new opportunities to build the meetings and events market in the region, which is already on the rise with a number of weddings and conferences booked at the hotel before it has opened, which is very encouraging,” said Mr Mars.
Boasting panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay, the 4-star Mercure has been developed alongside a new golf clubhouse, members lounge and an improved golf course design.
The hotel caters to conferences, events and weddings with conference day packages available from $55 per person and wedding packages starting from $135 per person cocktail style and $155 per person sit down.
