The opening ceremony of AC Hotel by Marriott Seoul Gangnam held at 2 PM on the 22nd.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Marriott International's modern luxury hotel, 'AC Hotel by Marriott Seoul Gangnam,' opened its doors in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul, for the first time in Korea on the 22nd.

At the opening ceremony held at the hotel at 2 p.m. that day, Chairman Woo Heemyung said, "We will do our best to become a hotel that provides the best service while thinking of all customers as family."

At the subsequent press conference, Chairman Woo explained the decision to open the hotel despite the difficult situation caused by COVID-19, saying, "I saw this period as a time to invest rather than just continue operating," and added, "I believe that once COVID-19 ends, the industry will revive as before, and I invested with that mindset."

'AC Hotel by Marriott' is a select brand of the global hotel company Marriott International, operating about 180 hotels worldwide and expanding its presence. Located just a one-minute walk from Yeoksam Station, a transportation hub and business center in Gangnam, it aims to offer both convenience and a hotel vacation experience.

The hotel has 21 floors above ground with a total of 274 rooms and offers facilities such as 'AC Kitchen,' 'Rooftop Bar Cloud,' a kids-only lounge for infants and toddlers, fitness and sauna facilities.

Especially for guests who value private spaces during their hotel stay, rooms with a 'private pool' on the terrace have been prepared. These include four Premier Pool Rooms and one Premier Pool Suite. The pool temperature can be controlled, and the shade can be adjusted depending on weather conditions. The hotel plans to offer services such as floating breakfast in the pool in the future.

On the third floor, a customized kids lounge targeting families with children has been set up. More than 10 play facilities of 'Little Champion,' an indoor play experience space, operate regularly, and various programs led by professional instructors are provided in collaboration with the early childhood education program 'Kids Schole.'

In addition, artworks are placed throughout the hotel to enhance the space's atmosphere. The art pieces will be replaced every three months.

To celebrate the opening of the first branch, AC Hotel by Marriott Seoul Gangnam has prepared opening packages. These include four types: the 'Breakfast 1+1 Package,' the 'Oh My Junior Package' offering two hours of kids lounge access, the 'Little Champion Kids Lounge Lunch Package' allowing non-guests to experience the kids lounge programs, and the 'Happy Hour Package' for relaxation in the Premier Lounge. The opening packages can be reserved through the official website and by phone until the 21st of next month.
