Mebe appoint architect and interior design group for new Mercure hotel
Located on Leningradskoye Shosse, the new $50 million hotel will offer transport links to Moscow city centre. Construction is slated to start in early 2014 and due to open in the first quarter of 2016.
The 14,000m2 hotel will include a fitness area with swimming pool, restaurants, conference and function halls as well as parking.
Kitzig Interior Design Architecture Group will design contemporary interiors specifically tailored to the requirements of the 21st-century traveller. Managed by international hotel operator Accor, the Khimki hotel will be the third Mercure hotel in the Moscow region.
Alexis Delaroff, Accor Chief Operating Officer for Russia, CIS and Georgia, said: “We are sure that under our management the Mercure hotel will take a leading position in the Moscow hotel market. We will use our long experience, the strong professionalism and experience of our teams, and the good location of the Mercure hotel to create a successful project.”
Mebe Development, the developer of the project, is part of Mebe Group. The hotel will become the Group’s second development project in the commercial real estate segment, along with the A-class LEED ‘Gold’ certified sustainable office building Mebe One Khimki Plaza located nearby, also designed by John McAslan + Partners.
The new hotel will achieve the same sustainability standards as Mebe One Khimki Plaza which is designed to international specifications and has established new standards for energy-efficient design in Russia.
