A new era of mid-range hospitality in Himachal Pradesh, ETTravelWorld

Treebo Hospitality Ventures (THV) has announced the signing of a new Mercure hotel in Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh, under its master franchise partnership with Accor and InterGlobe. This marks the debut of Accor’s globally recognized mid-sized Mercure brand in the popular hill destination, catering to travelers seeking relaxation, celebrations and authentic local experiences in a tranquil setting.

Nestled among the pine-covered hills of Kasauli, the upcoming Mercure Kasauli will offer 55 well-appointed rooms, a multi-cuisine restaurant and bar, multi-use spaces for weddings, social gatherings and corporate retreats, along with entertainment amenities for families and children. The hotel’s architecture and design will draw inspiration from Kasauli’s colonial heritage and tranquil mountain setting, complemented by the warmth and service standards associated with the Mercure brand.

Once a sleepy colonial hill town, Kasauli has quickly transformed into a sought-after destination for leisure tourism and weddings. Its stunning natural scenery, easy accessibility from Delhi and Chandigarh, and pleasant year-round climate have made it an emerging hub for travelers looking for comfort and celebration. The introduction of Mercure Kasauli caters to the growing need for branded, full-service hotels that offer distinctive experiences and international hospitality standards in India’s leisure markets.

India’s mid-market hospitality sector is witnessing significant growth, driven by rising domestic tourism and growing preference for reliable, branded stays in emerging destinations. Mercure Kasauli aims to meet this evolving demand by offering travelers locally inspired experiences, thoughtful design and a welcoming spirit that defines the Mercure brand around the world.

“Kasauli is a destination of timeless beauty that has recently emerged as a favorite for leisure holidays and weddings. We are excited to bring the Mercure brand to this serene hill station. Our partnership with Accor allows us to blend local inspiration with global brand standards, creating warm, memorable experiences that are true to the spirit of Kasauli,” said Siddharth Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO, Treebo Hospitality Ventures.

Ranju Alex, CEO, Accor South Asia, added: “We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Treebo Hospitality Ventures through Mercure Kasauli. This project embodies our shared belief that thoughtful design, local storytelling and genuine hospitality can create exceptional experiences for travelers and party-seekers alike.”

Project owners, Mr. Rohan Kumar and Mr. Gurmeet Singh, said, “Kasauli is an exceptional location, and we are delighted to collaborate with Treebo Hospitality Ventures and Accor. Mercure Kasauli will provide guests with contemporary accommodation infused with local flair – perfect for family holidays, romantic getaways and destination weddings.”

THV’s master franchise arrangement with Accor continues to accelerate the rollout of quality midscale hotels across India’s promising leisure and secondary markets. Mercure Kasauli stands as a testament to this partnership’s shared vision of operational excellence, locally inspired design and experiences that celebrate the uniqueness of each destination.
