Hotel Lobby
Ritz-Carlton Seoul
The Ritz-Carlton Seoul has opened its Chinese restaurant Chee Hong after renovations with a more upscale and elegant atmosphere.
The restaurant, making a specialty of Cantonese and Shanghai cuisines, has more private rooms than before. To celebrate the reopening, a six-course menu is available during December at 130,000 won, which includes seafood and BBQ as amuse bouche, braised shark’s fin with cod milt bouillon, oven-baked eggplant stuffed with scallop mousse, steamed local port with oyster sauce, and Cantonese-style chowfun.
The hotel also renovated its fitness club with advanced exercise facilities and will soon make a new entrance to the hotel’s A2 level for guests’ easier access to Chee Hong and other facilities directly from the street. An anti-aging clinic, Possom Prestige, will also open there soon.
