Holiday Inn launches in South Korea’s tech central

INTERCONTINENTAL Hotels Group has opened the doors to Holiday Inn Incheon Songdo in South Korea’s ‘smart city’ near Incheon.

The 202-room hotel is located in the centre of Songdo, making it only a 20-minute drive from Incheon International Airport. It is close to key attractions such as the Canal Walk shopping and restaurant hub and the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club, while Incheon Dohobu Government office, Wolmi Traditional Garden, Sora Port and Chinatown are also a stone’s throw away.

Dining options take the form of Surache Dining for international fare; Arts Deli, a fresh café for a quick or light bite with salads, sandwiches and soups on offer; and its Lobby Lounge & Bar. Touch Sky, the hotel’s rooftop bar provides sunset views with the option of indoor and outdoor seating, and a private function room.

Guests can also enjoy views of the West Sea and Incheon Bridge from the reception and lobby on the 19th floor.

For meetings and events, the hotel has five function rooms, a 320m2 ballroom for up to 240 pax and a traditional ceremony room for Korean weddings, the Pebaek room.

IHG now has eight hotels open across South Korea, including InterContinental Seoul COEX and Holiday Inn Resort Alpensia Pyeongchang.

To mark the occasion, Holiday Inn Incheon Songdo is offering a 10 per cent discount on its best flexible rates, bundling free breakfast for two guests.

The deal is available for stays between October 6, 2014 and January 31, 2015.
