Savvy leisure and business travellers visiting Seoul can now enjoy an affordable and hassle-free stay right in the heart of Hongdae, one of the liveliest districts in the South Korean capital. InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG®) has today opened the doors to the brand new Holiday Inn Express Seoul Hongdae, the second Holiday Inn Express® hotel in Seoul — bringing 294 guest rooms that combine comfort, convenience and the best value for guests.
Just a short 30-minute drive from Gimpo International Airport or a 50 minute drive (one hour by Airport Subway) from Incheon International Airport, Holiday Inn Express Seoul Hongdae offers convenient access to City Hall and Gangnam Business District, making it a smart accommodation choice for business travellers.
Situated right at the main junction of Hongdae above the new AK Mall, and in convenient proximity to the famous Myeongdong and Dongdaemun areas, the hotel serves as an ideal base for travellers looking to explore the bustling vicinity. Famous attractions like the Hongdae Walking Street as well as Hongdae Mural Street, Trick Eye Museum and the Yeontral Park are located just a stone’s throw away, and guests can take a leisurely 15-minute stroll to Mecenatpolis Mall, one of the newest malls in the city, for an unforgettable retail experience.
Those interested to learn more about the country’s history can venture slightly further out to the War Memorial of Korea just a short car-ride away, or Gyengbok Palace only 20 minutes by subway, before topping their experience off at the Bamdokkaebi Night Market for a taste of famed Korean street food and irresistible shopping bargains.
