New Hotel Inspired by Local Heritage – Hotel Magazine

Accor announced the opening of Mercure Bukhara Old Town in Uzbekistan. Quintessential to the local heritage and surroundings, the new hotel will offer a unique experience for visitors wanting to stay in the heart of Bukhara.

Constructed in 2022, the three-story building was designed to reflect the architectural beauty of the Old Town. Rich in history and culture, the hotel showcases the singularity of Uzbekistan. As one of the most ancient cities in Central Asia, Bukhara is a museum town comprised of more than 140 architectural monuments dating back to the medieval period.

Alexis Delaroff, COO of Accor New East Europe, expressed his anticipation of this long-awaited project.

“Mercure hotels are located in most major cities across Europe. All of them have distinct individual characters inspired by the culture of their locations,” Delaroff said. “We are delighted that this truly amazing and authentic project in Bukhara has been brought to life thanks to our joint efforts with the partner. We are confident that the new Mercure in Bukhara will become popular among international guests and Uzbekistan residents.”

Conveniently located within a ten-minute drive from the international airport, the hotel’s premium location opens guests to the quality of local culture. Moreover, the impressive architecture, designed by Zoirsho Klichev, immerses guests in Bukhara’s authenticity.

The interior resembles 16th-19th century styles, with colourful symbols, mosaics, handmade ceramics, and Bukhara bricks.

With 57 rooms, each room offers a gorgeous view overlooking Old Town or the cozy, interior courtyard. Room options include Classic and Privilege, comprised of light neutral colours, Uzbek patterns, and colourful ornaments that boast a contemporary European style.

Located on the top floor, the restaurant Saffron invites guests to behold the breathtaking panoramic view of Old Town. Guests can order a wide variety of Uzbek’s national cuisine: pilaf, chorba, basma, joshpara and samsa. Enjoy drinks in the hookah lounge or hold an event with up to 150 people on the spacious terrace.

Complete with spa sanctuaries and meeting rooms for those on business to a cozy cafe with local delights, Mercure Bukhara Old Town is one authentic stay when travelling worldwide.
