Grand Mercure Hotels & Resorts, an upscale brand under the Accor Group, inaugurated its Grand Mercure Krabi Ao Nang property on 10 November 2026. This new hotel, featuring 202 guestrooms and suites, is located on southern Thailand's Andaman coast.

It is approximately a 40-minute drive from Krabi International Airport, offering convenient access for international and domestic travellers. The opening expands Accor's footprint in one of Thailand's key leisure destinations, catering to a growing demand for premium accommodation in the region.

The Grand Mercure Krabi Ao Nang provides diverse accommodation options, including superior and deluxe rooms, premier rooms, junior suites, and two-bedroom family suites. Many rooms feature private balconies with mountain views. For recreation, the hotel offers two lagoon pools, one of which includes a dedicated children’s area.

Additional amenities include the Jungle Gem Kids Club, a fully equipped fitness centre, and a spa and wellness facility, catering to both relaxation and active pursuits for guests of all ages.

Dining and Event Spaces

Guests have a selection of dining venues at the new property. Chill Kitchen serves a mix of Thai and international cuisine, while Da Vino Trattoria specialises in Italian dishes. For lighter refreshments and beverages, the SAN Pool Bar and Champfee Lounge are available. The hotel also features the Typsy Rooftop Bar & Lounge, providing another social space.

For business or private gatherings, the Ao Nang Cliff Lounge offers a dedicated venue capable of accommodating up to 100 people.

Market Impact for Southern Thailand

Garth Simmons, Accor Asia Premium, Midscale and Economy division chief operating officer, noted that Krabi remains a highly sought-after leisure destination in Thailand. He stated that the Grand Mercure brand aims to provide a hotel experience celebrating local culture alongside premium hospitality.

David Coyle, General Manager of Grand Mercure Krabi Ao Nang, added that the hotel is designed to connect guests with Southern Thailand's unique spirit and culture.

This expansion by Accor strengthens Krabi's appeal to international travellers, particularly those from Asia seeking culturally rich yet modern hospitality options, potentially driving further tourism investment in the Andaman coast region.
