Guest sentiment
A 174-room hotel on Jalan A.P. Pettarani in Makassar's government and commercial district, with Toraja-inspired design, a ballroom, and an outdoor pool.
Last updated August 13, 2026
Mercure Makassar Nexa Pettarani is a 174-room hotel on the busy Jalan A.P. Pettarani corridor, in the heart of Makassar's government and commercial district and about 30 minutes from Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport. The property is known for its Toraja-carved local design touches, a 500-person ballroom and meeting rooms geared toward business and event guests, an outdoor pool, spa, and all-day dining at Losari Restaurant. Guest feedback is generally positive on location convenience, staff friendliness, and breakfast variety, but a recurring minority of reviews flag housekeeping lapses -- dirty bedsheets, tinted water, or dated bathroom fixtures -- worth checking on arrival.
