HILTON Worldwide will open its first hotel in Busan come 2016, having signed a management agreement with Emerson Pacific.

The 10-storey Hilton Busan is located within the East Busan Tourism Complex about 8km from Busan city centre, giving the hotel’s guests quick access to a golf course, theme park and other tourist attractions.

Hilton Busan will offer 306 rooms with a minimum room size of 56m2, an outdoor pool, a spa, health club and business centre. Meeting facilities include a ballroom.

“The introduction of our flagship Hilton property to Busan marks our commitment to continue our expansion in South Korea,” said Andrew Clough, senior vice president of development, Middle East & Asia-Pacific, Hilton Worldwide.

“Busan, South Korea’s second metropolis after Seoul, is a key destination for leisure and business, and we are thrilled to be the first leading global hospitality company that is part of the landmark East Busan Tourism Complex project.”
