Come for business, stay for leisure
Brought to you by Seoul Tourism Organization
With its seamless integration of business, leisure and culture, the South Korean capital has been an attractive destination for business and leisure travellers.
To build on this dynamic ecosystem where productivity meets relaxation, the government is actively encouraging business travellers, and those who travel with their families, to extend their stays in the capital.
Leveraging its world-class infrastructure, business strength, and cultural appeal, Seoul is establishing itself as a destination for working and living.
Established MICE hub with scenic views
Located in the inner west area along the Han River lies Magok, a modern district that offers the convenience of business infrastructure, transport connectivity, and hospitality is the Magok district.
With easy connectivity to both Gimpo and Incheon airports, Magok is conveniently situated for business travellers.
At its heart is Seoul MICE Plaza, which serves as a dedicated platform for global conferences, events, and industry exchange, as well as a ‘workation’ hub.
Nearby is the COEX Magok Lewest, a large-scale MICE complex comprising a convention centre, hotel and meetings facilities, providing top of the line MICE facilities.
Offering some nature in the urban setting is the Seoul Botanic Park, home to a glass greenhouse, themed gardens, waterfront trails, allowing visitors to step into a calm and restorative environment.
Fine hospitality
Travellers can get their downtime at several upscale hotels in the area.
The Mercure Ambassador Seoul Magok and Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Botanic Park offer convenient access to both business venues and green spaces.
For those seeking a refined cultural and culinary experience, Mayfield Hotel provides a distinctive traditional Korean experience. Set within serene gardens and hanok-inspired architecture, the hotel combines traditional aesthetics with seasonal cuisine at its restaurants.This environment is particularly suited for high-level meetings and private gatherings, allowing guests to engage with Korea’s heritage alongside a professional agenda.
Further towards the city centre, Hotel Naru Seoul MGallery offers a luxurious escape, pairing Han River vistas with interiors designed for both focused work and restorative rest.
Similarly, both Conrad Seoul and Fairmont Ambassador Seoul provide elevated environments with expansive views over the Han river and city skyline. These five-star spaces provide business-ready spaces for use in the day and sophisticated settings in the evening where the lights along the riverfront create a serene backdrop for unwinding.
Seoul’s creative and cultural scene
Beyond Magok, Seoul’s ‘workation’ landscape reflects a more creative and community-driven way of working.
Across the river, Oil Tank Culture Park, is a success story of urban regeneration. Formerly a cluster of oil storage tanks, the area was designed as a cultural complex for exhibitions and performances, turning the city’s industrial heritage into contemporary expression.
To complement this cultural immersion, a Seoul Cruise experience offers a different perspective of the city. Whether for informal meetings or team bonding sessions, a journey along the Han River allows travellers to appreciate the glittering skyline of the city.
