[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] The signature space of Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas, the ‘Lobby Lounge & Bar,’ has undergone a renovation.

According to InterContinental Seoul Parnas on the 14th, this renewal is characterized by embodying ‘return to nature,’ ‘balance,’ and ‘refinement’ in one space. While maximizing the overwhelming sense of space felt from the approximately 14-meter-high ceiling, the curved beauty inspired by nature was reflected in the furniture and partition designs, and the dynamic movement of rippling waves was expressed through the carpet pattern.

A Christmas tree composed of 30,000 mother-of-pearl pieces shaped like the InterContinental logo’s letter ‘I’ was also installed. Designed to be 7 meters tall, this tree was installed in a form that cascades down like a waterfall from the ceiling. Over 1,300 wires connect the 30,000 mother-of-pearl pieces by hand, reflecting the light pouring down from the ceiling according to the flow of air.

To commemorate the renovation, InterContinental Parnas is presenting the ‘Lumi?re Royal High Tea’ in collaboration with Trudon, a French luxury candle brand with a 400-year history. ‘Lumi?re Royal High Tea,’ meaning ‘light’ in French, is a high-class menu featuring cannel?s and chocolates shaped like Trudon’s royal candles that once illuminated the Palace of Versailles, along with French dishes such as Mont Blanc, croissant sandwiches, and Provence escargot.

Trudon’s scented cameo and perfume Sophistic, which leave a fragrant memory, are also offered as gifts. Lumi?re Royal High Tea will be available in limited daily quantities at the Lobby Lounge & Bar until the 31st of next month.

A representative of Parnas Hotel said, “The newly reborn Lobby Lounge & Bar will become a landmark that truly meets customers’ needs for a luxury lifestyle space,” adding, “We hope customers seeking a more special year-end atmosphere will create unforgettable memories.”
