Mercure Sgns The Abbey Hill Hotel in Milton Keynes
London - November 30, 2012 - Mercure has signed with The Abbey Hill Hotel in Milton Keynes, an ideally situated hotel just twenty five minutes from London Luton airport and next to the Abbey Hill Golf Club.
The hotel is currently undergoing a £1.5 million transformation and will officially operate as the Mercure Milton Keynes Abbey Hill Hotel in January 2013.
The hotel, once complete will boast 88 bedrooms, state-of-the-art meeting rooms and newly designed and furnished public spaces.
