The Grand InterContinental Seoul is located in the heart of the capital's business and contemporary culture district along with its sister hotel, COEX InterContinental Seoul.
It is a convenient distance from the Korea World Trade Center, the City Air Terminal, department stores, a casino, duty free shop, movie theaters and over 200 shops.
As one of the best place for business gatherings, the hotel has large guest rooms, fully equipped with modern technology and set amid traditional decor and furnishings.
The 518 guest rooms ― including the Club InterContinental rooms ― all have been revamped with modern and natural, environmentally-friendly interiors.
An array of international, modern and traditional restaurants offers exotic choices in world cuisine, including French, Japanese, Italian, Mediterranean and Asian.
The hotel features 15 function rooms in various sizes, allowing guests a chance to select the space, dependant on the different occasions including small meetings, large-scale conferences, weddings, receptions and other social gatherings.
The hotel's reputation has been well deserved through various international events.
It was chosen as the main hotel for the third ASEM during which heads of 26 countries from Asia and Europe gathered in Seoul in 2000.
Another distinguishing achievement was the hotel receiving the highest score in the 2007 National Customers Satisfaction Index (NCSI) last December for the second year in a row.
The survey was undertaken by the Korea Productivity Center, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper and the University of Michigan with the support of the Korean Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Energy.
The two InterContinental hotels were awarded the highest score for food safety management among all registered five-star hotels in the Asia-Pacific region from U.S.-based consulting firm Johnson Diversy Consulting (JDC), which regularly evaluates hotel hygiene standards in major, international destinations.
The two hotels are also the only luxury hotels in Seoul to have achieved the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) certificate, a systematic approach to identify and eliminate possible food safety hazards authenticated by Australia's Total Quality Certification Services International (TQCSI).
C Grill Serves Finest Grill Dishes
Of the top quality restaurants at the hotel, the newly-opened grill restaurant C Grill has emerged as one of the finest spots in town. The ``C'' in its name stands for three words ― ``charcoal,'' ``char-grill'' and ``cuisine.''
Its modern interior, open kitchen and contrasting red and black decor throughout, enhance its lively and energetic atmosphere. Finally, with its tree motif glass walls surrounding the booths a natural, fresh feeling is palpable here, too.
The main set menu is a three-course meal with salad, main dish, and dessert. There is also a special five-course set menu for dinner. Along with these set menus, guests may order from many a la carte choices.
Guests will enjoy tender Australian Wagyu beef, carefully selected Black Angus beef, and Korean top first grade beef from Andong.
The new lunch set menu is priced at 35,000 won. Two dinner set menus are priced at 65,000 won and 75,000 won. For more information, call (02) 559-7615.
