THV Signs Mercure Kasauli Under Its Master Franchise Arrangement with Accor and InterGlobe

Bengaluru, 15 October 2025: Treebo Hospitality Ventures (THV) has announced the signing of a new Mercure hotel in Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh, under its master franchise arrangement with Accor and InterGlobe. The signing marks the entry of Accor’s globally recognized midscale Mercure brand into one of India’s most scenic and fast-emerging leisure destinations — catering to travellers seeking relaxation, celebrations, and authentic local experiences in the lap of nature.

Perched amidst Kasauli’s pine-covered hills, the upcoming Mercure Kasauli will feature 55 well-appointed rooms, a multi-cuisine restaurant and bar, event spaces for weddings, social gatherings, and corporate retreats, and recreational facilities for families and children. The hotel’s design will reflect the town’s colonial charm and tranquil mountain spirit while offering guests a blend of contemporary comfort and regional warmth.

Once a quiet hill station, Kasauli has evolved into a highly sought-after destination for leisure travel and destination weddings, thanks to its scenic beauty, proximity to Delhi and Chandigarh, and its year-round pleasant climate. The new Mercure will address the growing demand for high-quality, full-service hotels that can host intimate weddings, celebrations, and group getaways, while providing a distinctive brand experience backed by global hospitality expertise.

India’s mid-market hotel segment continues to see strong growth, fuelled by rising domestic tourism and the increasing preference for branded stays in emerging leisure markets. Mercure Kasauli is designed to meet this demand - a place where travellers can feel local, enriched by thoughtful design, epicurean touches, and the friendly, curious spirit that defines the brand. 

THV’s master franchise arrangement with Accor continues to accelerate the rollout of world-class midscale hotels across India’s most promising destinations. Mercure Kasauli is another testament to this collaboration’s shared vision — to combine operational excellence with locally inspired design and guest experiences that celebrate the unique essence of each destination.
