The hotel worked with 1508 London, a British interior design group, on its new interiors and create a design narrative encompassing these themes, ‘Return to Nature’, ‘Balance’ and ‘Crafted Detailing’. For a distinctively luxurious atmosphere, the design also incorporated Korea’s unique lines and warm colours, creating harmony between materials for an exquisite finish.
All guestrooms at Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas are now fitted with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, and the hotel exterior has also been retrofitted with full-paneled glass. Apart from creating a modern and sophisticated aesthetic, the glass panels are reinforced by insulating bars for improved energy efficiency.
The Club InterContinental Lounge was previously located on the 26th floor and was moved to the hotel’s top floor at level 34 to provide an elevated club experience in its new location.
Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas now welcomes guests with 16 types of 550 rooms that are tailored to various needs from the spacious Deluxe rooms, Junior Suite and luxurious top suites.
