The Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas is holding its “Re-opening Early Bird Promotion” in November before the official re-opening of the hotel on Dec. 1 after 11 months of remodeling.

The hotel said it is offering early bird rates to express its gratitude to guests who have waited for the re-opening, noting that the promotion is ideal for people looking for an affordable hotel stay where they can be the first to experience the completely refurbished rooms and enjoy the hotel's signature luxury services, as well as shopping and cultural facilities directly connected to the hotel building.

The promotion includes an overnight stay in a room fitted with state-of-the-art facilities, breakfast for two at Grand Kitchen with a revamped menu, a newly designed InterContinental signature teddy bear, two movie tickets for Megabox COEX and complimentary amenities that come with macarons and a house wine selected by the hotel's head sommelier.

All early bird guests will also receive a discount for the Parnas Mall located on the first underground floor of the hotel and are welcome to use the indoor pool and fitness facilities.

Guests will be treated to a festive holiday ambience with Christmas trees and splendid lighting ornaments around the Lobby Lounge and other parts of the hotel.

Those who reserve a suite for the special offer will also receive a 50,000 won ($45) voucher that can be redeemed at all restaurants inside the hotel.

Club InterContinental is now located on the top floor and is accessible to guests staying in a club room. It offers a view of the entire Gangnam area and presents the hotel's signature private services along with fine dining food and drink services.

The early bird promotion can be reserved until Nov. 30 and can be used from Dec. 1 to Feb. 28.

“After completing its remodeling, the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas will reopen as a lifestyle hotel that sets new standards in luxury,” a hotel official said. “Following the 2014 remodeling of the ground-level lobby, restaurants, Grand Ballroom and other shared facilities, the hotel has now revamped the building exterior and all rooms from the seventh to the 33rd floors, transforming it into a wholly new hotel.”
