Accor Mindful Meetings

ACCORHOTELS has unveiled a brand new MICE offering, dubbed MindFul Meetings by Mercure.

Designed around delivering meetings with “mindfulness” at its core, the new product will see that meetings rooms are appropriately themed, menu options are curated to boost concentration levels, and activities such as meditation are introduced to delegates throughout the event.

Director of sales, meetings and events for AccorHotels Australia, Charlotte Gutte, said “maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle when travelling on business or attending events can be a challenge, which is why we’re really excited to launch the new mindful meetings concept at Mercure Hotels.

Nutrition and health writer Michele Chevalley Hedge has been enlisted to design a menu for Mindful Meeting, utilising clean, whole food ingredients using only natural sugar or low sugar choices to keep delegates satisfied and alert.

Mindful Meetings was piloted at Mercure Sydney, fuelling positive feedback from clients and delegates.

MEANWHILE, AccorHotels will present its expanded MICE offerings at the Asia-Pacific Incentives and Meetings Expo (AIME) in Melbourne this week, showcasing venues from across its network of 200 properties.

Promoted venues include Novotel Melbourne on Collins recently reopened conference spaces; the refurbished Mercure Geelong and the Mercure Grosvenor Hotel Adelaide, among others.

Visit AccorHotels’ at the Melbourne Convention Centre at AIME from 23-24 Feb for more.
