STAYING IN

As a hotel geared toward business travellers, there are many facilities for those who wish to organise meetings or events in style. There are usual meeting rooms, which are well lit with natural light and overlook the park. Or opt for the Idea Garden where you can find a pre-function area with a refreshment counter and more meeting rooms. There are two outdoor spaces for casual mingling and gathering as well.

Should you suffer from a mental block, hit the gym at anytime of the day as it opens 24/7 or simply jog at the Seoul Botanic Park. There’s no swimming pool in the hotel, though. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to swim while overlooking the vast park below?

Guests with access to the lounge can go up to top floor to treat themselves to exclusive perks like continental breakfast, dessert, bite-sized delights, non-alcoholic beverages and more. There’s an outdoor area to chillax with an overlooking view of the city or you can make a toast to a productive day. You can even help yourself to Jelly Beans or enjoy a nightcap before bed. However, do make a point of hitting the big breakfast at Garden Kitchen. This is going to make me sound so basic but I did enjoy putting together a soothing bowl of Korean porridge. Of course, they have the usual salad station, breads, cereal, eggs and such. The lounge, also on the ground level, is more for a quick snack or a cup of joe.
