Mercure Niseko Resort to Open in East Hirafu in 2026

Accor will open the 360-room Mercure Niseko Resort in East Hirafu Village in Q4 2026, marking the hospitality group’s first hotel in Niseko.

Where is Mercure Niseko Resort?

Mercure Niseko Resort will be located in East Hirafu Village, near the Grand Hirafu and Hanazono ski areas.

The 360-room hotel will include dining and wellness facilities for both domestic and international visitors.

Why does Mercure Niseko matter for East Hirafu?

The development adds a major internationally recognised hotel brand to East Hirafu—an area attracting increasing interest as development expands beyond Niseko’s established village centres.

The arrival of Accor also adds another global hospitality operator to the wider Niseko market ahead of the 2026/27 winter season.
