Pool season already?

With daytime temperatures already like early summer, it might not seem so crazy to lounge by the pool.
Shilla Hotel Seoul is opening up its outdoor pool, “Urban Island”, from April 24. The pool is heated because it can still be chilly in spring.
The hotel is offering the “Spring Island” package, which includes a light “Spanish gourmet” meal, a night in a deluxe room and tickets to the Urban Island pool. The meal includes the Spanish Estrella Damm Barcelone draft beer, a mini burger, fries and churros.
The package is available until May 31.
