InterContinental Seoul COEX offers winter packages

With the winter season fast approaching, InterContinental Seoul COEX is presenting two types of winter packages for guests to choose from.

Guests can select between “Afternoon Tea” and “Wonder Hour” which are held at The Lobby Lounge on the ground floor of the hotel, and enjoy it during an overnight stay at the hotel.

The Afternoon Tea package includes The Lobby Lounge's afternoon tea set made from seasonal ingredients. Chestnut opera, persimmon mousse, mugwort “injeolmi” (rice cake) rolls and various other desserts as well as sandwiches are served with coffee or tea.

The Wonder Hour package offers a voucher for two that provides unlimited wine, drinks and food during the night hours. As the promotion offers three types of beer and 10 types of wine ― with no limit on consumption ― and also includes 30 types of snacks, it is a good choice for joyful year-end gatherings.

Both packages are available until Dec. 30 excluding Dec. 24 and 25.

All guests opting for these packages are given complimentary access to the fitness club, excluding the sauna facilities, and the hotel's pleasant 25-meter-long indoor swimming pool, which has a harmonious naturally sunlit backdrop of the quiet and peaceful Bongeun Temple.

Those who use InterContinental Seoul COEX can escape the cold and enjoy the winter holidays indoors with various facilities directly connected to the hotel via the underground floor, including COEX Aquarium, Parnas Mall, COEX Mall, department store and a movie theater.
