Hello🖐️ Before traveling from Ubud to Sanur, Bali, I stayed at the Grand Mercure Bali Seminyak for one night. The resort is part of the Accor brand chain and is located in the center of Seminyak, with easy beach access, clean facilities, a wide range of amenities, and a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere. I hope you find my review helpful if you’re looking for a hotel in Seminyak, as it caters to everyone from families to couples.
About Grand Mercure Bali Seminyak
I arrived at the Grand Mercure Bali Seminyak hotel via Grab. I had just checked out of my previous hotel and arrived a little early for check-in time, but they were kind enough to check me in. The hotel is brand new, having opened in December 2022, so you can see that it’s quite clean and sophisticated overall👍.
This resort is under the Accor brand, so if you book through the official Accor Hotels website or app, you can get a lot of benefits. Also, if you have a paid membership program called Accor Plus, you can get discounts when booking a room or eating and drinking. I already have Accor Plus, so I got a good discount when I ate at this hotel 👍.

In the lobby of the hotel, you can listen to a live performance of the Rindik, a traditional Balinese instrument, for a more Balinese feel. The shape and colorful patterns of the instrument are slightly different at each resort, so it’s fun to look around. For me, the soothing sound of the instrument was very fitting for Bali : )
At the entrance of the hotel, you can also rent bicycles for a fee. It costs 50,000 rupiah for 1 hour and 75,000 rupiah for 2 hours.
After passing through the lobby, you will find the Batur All-Day Dining, Lagoon Pool Bar restaurant on the ground floor along with the swimming pool. The restaurant serves a buffet breakfast in the morning and during the day, the menu ranges from local Indonesian dishes to Western favorites, making it a great place to visit any time of day. We also had lunch here after checking in, but more on that in my next post 😊.
The hotel has two adult pools and a dedicated kiddie pool and playground for kids, making it a great place for couples and families to go swimming. The lagoon-style pool was big, with lots of sunbeds and a very exotic atmosphere, which I really liked! Everything was clean and nice, probably because it’s a new hotel : )
Most of the hotel’s facilities are located on the ground floor, and besides the pool and restaurant, there are also facilities like the Naima Spa, meeting rooms, fitness center, and kids club. Rooms are located on floors 2 through 5.
Grand Mercure Bali Seminyak Hotel Rooms
We were assigned a room on the 3rd floor, which was definitely a nice change of pace from the city center hotels as the corridor opens up to the outdoors and you can see the lush greenery👍.
It was the first time I personally received a cute welcome message on the full-length mirror at the entrance of the room, which was very cute and touching👍👍 They also provided us with a welcome snack and fruit, which was delicious.
The room I stayed in was a Deluxe King Room. The hotel has a total of 269 rooms, of which the deluxe king/twin rooms take up most of them as there are 245 rooms in total. The deluxe room is about 37.5 square meters, so it is quite spacious for two adults, but if you want a slightly larger room, you can stay in a suite. The bed is decorated with towel art in the shape of a dragon because it’s the Year of the Dragon, which is pretty cool, right?
For a brand new hotel that only opened in October 2022, the rooms were very neat and clean👍 The air conditioning was the best I’ve ever had in a hotel on this trip to Bali, so I stayed cool and crisp. There were 4 complimentary bottles of water, 49″ LED TV, balcony, bathtub & shower, sofa, minibar, safe, and most of the floors were parquet, so it was very comfortable and less dusty.
In most hotel rooms, there’s nowhere to lie down except the bed, so it was very convenient to have a separate sofa to lie down, use my phone and relax.
The bathroom is also really clean and well-divided, with all the amenities you need.
The room has a big balcony and the view of the pool from the room balcony is really nice. This hotel has different prices for the same deluxe room depending on the view, so if you can, I would recommend booking a room with a pool view. It’s so relaxing to drink a beer while enjoying the view.
