[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Seoul Dragon City announced on the 5th that it held a plaque ceremony on the 3rd to commemorate the achievement of 19 stars across 4 hotels.

The plaque ceremony was held with the attendance of key executives including CEO Seung Man-ho, General Manager Park Tae-joo, and General Manager Oh Sang-jun. The hotel explained, "This event was organized to celebrate the 19 stars earned by the 4 hotels through the hotel rating evaluation conducted by the Korea Tourism Association Central Committee."

Seoul Dragon City opened in November 2017 with three high-rise towers in front of Yongsan Station, Seoul, shaped like a dragon, offering a total of 1,700 rooms. Since its opening, in 2018, 'Novotel Ambassador Seoul Yongsan' and 'Ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Yongsan' received 5-star and 4-star ratings respectively. Then, in November last year, 'Grand Mercure Ambassador Hotel & Residences Seoul Yongsan' and 'Novotel Suites Ambassador Seoul Yongsan' became the first family hotels in Seoul to earn 5-star family hotel ratings side by side. The family hotel rating system is overseen by the Korea Tourism Association Central Committee and was introduced for the first time last year.

To celebrate the achievement of 19 stars, promotions for guests and visitors have also been prepared. These include a 'Lucky Draw' offering benefits to customers who pick the number '19', a '19 Stars Voucher' allowing a total of 4 nights (one night at each of the 4 hotels) for 550,000 KRW, and 'SDC 19 Day' which offers benefits on the 19th of every month. These promotions will be introduced sequentially, providing benefits and prizes worth a total of approximately 400 million KRW.

Park Tae-joo, General Manager, said, "Seoul Dragon City was able to place 19 stars on the plaque as a result of the efforts of all employees to implement facilities where Korea's unique tradition and modern sensibility coexist along with the best customer service," adding, "We will do our best to grow into a representative landmark of Korea recognized worldwide."

Meanwhile, Seoul Dragon City has been selected as the new business site for 'Seven Luck Casino,' a foreigner-only casino operated by Grand Korea Leisure (GKL). It is scheduled to open in January 2023.
