The recently opened JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul has already built a reputation for one of its facilities just a month into its opening — its top-notch swimming pool.
The luxurious looking swimming pool located at “Club 501” has state-of-the-art water managing system using A-1 filter and no chemical sterilizers.
Swimming lessons and aqua-aerobic programs are available at the two-lane swimming pool and a separate whirl pool preventing hypothermia from long-hour usage is installed next to the main pool.
But the swimming pool is not just eco- and health-friendly, but also a stylish venue for fashion brands to hold events and broadcasting companies to film TV dramas.
Recently, the swimming pool had been the venue for popular local shoe brand “Suecomma Bonnie” which held its fall/winter collection showcase at the pool during the fashion week.
Calls requesting to use the pool for filming have flooded as well, according to a hotel official.
“Vegetable sommelier” at the nutrition bar at Club 5010
At the “Nutrition Bar” within Club 501, guests can enjoy a variety of healthy fruit juices and snacks.
The bar offers detoxification drinks, fruit and vegetable boosters and smoothies as well as organic vegetable set menus and sandwiches.
What’s unique about the bar is that it has a “vegetable sommelier” who picks and chooses the right vegetables and fruits for the guests and caters the drink to meet their physical conditions.
The fitness club at Club 501 operates 24 hours and offers health consultation services for users.
The fitness center is installed with high-tech air purifying system which keeps the air level at the purist. Equipment installed at the gym are products of Life Fitness.
At the group exercise room within the fitness center, club members can receive yoga and aerobic lessons or use the room freely at their own will anytime throughout the day.
