Two Hotels With Many Different Charms
The Grand InterContinental Seoul and the COEX InterContinental Seoul in southern Seoul have long been loved by international businessmen.
Their success is largely attributed to their superb location near the Korea World Trade Center, COEX Convention and Exhibition Center, Casino, City Air Terminal, duty free shop and COEX Mall with over 200 shops.
More importantly, the success of the two deluxe hotels came from a strong commitment to offer the best service without maintaining the status quo.
However, the two hotels have been attracting travelers, businessmen and diners with unique attractions.
Since it opened its doors in 1988, the Grand InterContinental Seoul has maintained a reputation for both its state-of-the-art facilities and its distinctive Korean-style ambience.
Of note is the hotel's lobby with soaring curves, marble pillars and a multi colored traditional ceiling, which greets guests with elements that serve to create a sophisticated yet traditional Korean ambiance.
The chic Korean mood is complemented with furniture and window treatments inspired once again, by Korea's unique heritage.
After two years of renovations, the hotel is more spacious and comfortable, providing a wide range of modern conveniences for the discerning traveler.
The latest technology has been incorporated into each of the 535 guest rooms. High-speed Internet connections, wireless Internet, two-line speaker phones with data port, separate lines for fax or modem hook-ups and voicemail ensure guests remain in touch with the world.
The hotel also features 15 function rooms of various sizes, allowing the flexibility to select the space that is perfect for small meetings, large-scale conferences, weddings, receptions or social gatherings.
Meanwhile, the COEX InterContinental Seoul is ideally located in the heart of the business district in southern Seoul, offering business-related facilities and convenience.
It offers the latest in-room technology and state-of-the-art communication facilities and services.
It is a hotel specially designed for the ``lifestyle of the new millennium.'' The basic concept is simple yet modern using metal and glass with marble looking granite.
The latest technology has been incorporated into each of the 653 guest rooms, which are geared for international business travelers.
Rooms are furnished with the finest fabrics and deluxe guest amenities. Comfort is maximized through in-room temperature controls. Elegant marble bathrooms offer deep soaking tubs and separate showers.
With many distinguishing features, the two hotels offer numerous choices for dining and entertainment, with a selection of world cuisine including Asian, Korean, Chinese, Japanese and European.
