A new, locally-inspired Mercure Newport hotel has opened its doors to the public for the first time on 13 May, 2022.

Located in the heart of the city center, at the top of the historic Chartist Tower, the new Mercure Newport Hotel is placed well to visit both the modern city and the surrounding Welsh countryside. The hotel features contemporary bedrooms, an open-plan restaurant and outdoor rooftop terrace at 'Bar & Kitchen @NP20', a fitness center, and a range of meeting and event spaces. 

Newport is a city with many heritage landmarks where traditional industries sit alongside new electronics and financial service sectors. This local heritage has been incorporated into the hotel's design, with industrial-themed accents such as the use of metal and timber materials and a contrasting color palette of white, black, and grey tones featuring throughout. The hotel has also teamed up with Welsh artist Caroline Rees to create an artwork inspired by the city's famous Transporter Bridge as a tribute to the local area.

The hotel is situated next to Friars Walk shopping center and 400 meters from Newport Train Station. It is also situated near multiple tourist attractions within easy reach, including Roman Caerleon and Tredegar House.
