Accor, from Southwest France to Northwest England. Thursday, 12th November 2009 Source : HVS International

Accor’s first port of call this week was the town of Biarritz on the Bay of Biscay, southwest France.

The reason for this visit was the Biarritz Le Président hotel.

Following the completion of an extensive renovation and refurbishment, the 69-room hotel has joined Accor’s Mercure brand and now goes by the name of the Mercure Le President Biarritz Centre.

Once the hotel was flying the Mercure flag, Accor then turned its attention to its Novotel brand. This meant a trip across the English Channel to the city of Liverpool, in northwest England, where Accor opened the 209-room Novotel Liverpool.
