The hotel
Accor's first Mercure in Argentina.
Accor brought its Mercure brand to Argentina here, in 2014, with a hotel of about a hundred rooms on the edge of Puerto Iguazú. The site is a 600-hectare plot of the Selva Iryapú, the subtropical forest that wraps the south side of the town. The buildings sit among native trees, and the architecture was planned to respect them. It has six meeting rooms for up to three hundred people, and Welcome Argentina places it in the four-star class.
The hotel is certified at Gold level by the "Hoteles más Verdes" programme, for regional planting and saving water and energy. Guides lead walks through the Iryapú forest and visits to native communities nearby. The Hito Tres Fronteras, where Argentina faces Brazil and Paraguay across the rivers, is two kilometres away, and the entrance to Iguazú National Park about fifteen, a drive of twenty to twenty-five minutes.
- Pool in the forest A large outdoor pool kept at the temperature of the day, open from ten in the morning to nine at night, with its own bar.
- Vy'a Spa Massages, a jacuzzi and a sauna, with a gym open around the clock.
- Into the Selva Guided walks in the Iryapú reserve and visits to native communities, arranged at the hotel.
