Mercure has opened its first hotel in Chennai’s largest and upcoming industrial and automobile belt, Sriperumbudur-Oragadam.

Speaking on the occasion, Neeraj Govil, Chief Executive Officer, SMP Management Group, said, “We have a long-standing association with Chennai and hence, it was quite logical for us to commence our association with AccorHotels from Chennai. We are privileged to partner with them in bringing Mercure to the industrial corridor of Oragadam. Leading national and international brands in the automotive sector have already set up operations here, and the market is ready and looking forward to a new property offering international standards of amenities and operations.”
