WE Hotel earns five-star rating
The WE Hotel Jeju has earned five stars -- an achievement signifying it as a top-notch world-class hotel.
All ratings by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization are earned through a 700-point on-site inspection and a 300-point anonymous one. Inspectors judge hotels and other accommodations according to established criteria and guidelines.
If a hotel scores more than 900 points, it is awarded five stars.
To celebrate the achievement, the first five guests of each day who book their stay through its website will receive “special” discounts on their rooms.
The hotel, located in Seogwipo on Jeju Island's south coast, is known for its high-quality services using the island's mineral-rich natural water and an unrivaled wellness program offering wood therapy and water therapy as well as various activities.
