Mercure Hotel President Lecce in Lecce, open April–August.
Built in the early 20th century, Mercure Hotel President Lecce occupies a historic palazzo in the heart of Lecce's baroque old town, retaining period architectural details while offering modern hospitality amenities.
The property underwent comprehensive restoration to balance its classical heritage with contemporary comfort, positioning it as a versatile venue for celebrations.
Housed within walking distance of UNESCO-recognized baroque landmarks, the hotel serves as both accommodation and event space for destination weddings.
The hotel is a 20 min walk from the old town, located on a main street full of shops, restaurants and bars, and has a fairly large underground parking lot. Our room was spacious and bright during the day, but at night all the light sources gave a blinding light that I couldn't really read by. The heating is good during winter, the bed is comfortable and the shower is great. Wifi works well. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. Complimentary water in the room. Breakfast is quite good with many options, coffee not great.
