May is known as a “family month” in Korea as people celebrate Children's Day on May 5, Parents' Day on May 8 and Married Couples' Day on May 21.
To provide guests with memorable moments on such special days with their families, many hotel brands here have unveiled a variety of packages and promotions.
Millennium Hilton Seoul has launched the “Mom and Kids Family” package, offering a memorable experience on a refreshing day out in the family month.
The package that runs until May 31 presents special themed rooms fully furnished with beds, rugs and tents from the German toy company HABA.
The hotel has collaborated with the renowned interior designer Noh Jin-seon to create the HABA-themed room together to spark children's playful imaginations and curiosity with a unique range of HABA products.
Guests can also enjoy the space that is exquisitely decorated with various kid-friendly items from Melissa & Doug, Schleich, Bruder and Siku, designed to inspire both children and parents alike for quality family fun.
A coloring book and crayon set are provided in an eco-bag for young guests at check-in.
The package includes a breakfast for two adults and two children aged 12 or under.
Available rooms for the package are king or twin deluxe mountain rooms, and king executive suite rooms.
As the hotel is located adjacent to Seollo 7017 and the city wall, guests can also take advantage of pedestrian-friendly walkways abound with lush greenery and rest areas.
Hanwha Hotels and Resorts presents the “Kids Clean Zones,” a series of special areas offering fun and safe playtime for children at a time of public health crisis.
Plaza suites, The Plaza's signature guestrooms, have been transformed into the hotel's Kids Clean Zones.
Studio-style suites crafted by world-renowned Italian designer Guido Ciompi are equipped with Nanodrone air purifiers, hypoallergenic carpets and luxury bedding by Luxiana, offering rest and play inspired by the concepts of purity and relaxation.
The premium air purifiers, handmade in Germany, use an electrostatic filtration system to eliminate fine and ultrafine particulate matter, virus, fungi, bacteria, allergens and other harmful substances.

Hanwha Resorts has created the Kids Clean Zones featuring the popular animation character Pororo at its Geoje Belvedere, Seorak Sorano, Daecheon Paros, Yongin Besancon and Gyeongju properties.
Guestrooms, in-room slides, block game zones, safety mats and other features are all thoroughly disinfected by a professional sterilization company, offering fun for kids and peace of mind for parents.
Hanwha Resort Haeundae offers a child-friendly service providing baby chairs, baby bottle sterilizers, baby bathtubs and cots.
“We created the Kids Clean Zones as a reflection of our commitment to deliver service beyond expectation and a safe place of relaxation for all guests,” a Hanwha Hotels and Resorts official said. “We are working hard to provide relaxing stays with products that suit a diverse range of aims and guest preferences.”
The company added the number of guests is limited at destinations such as aquariums and hotel restaurants, and staggered entry systems have been implemented, in accordance with the governmental social distance guidelines amid pandemic.
