The hygiene rating system is a restaurant hygiene grading program initiated by the MFDS in May 2017, which evaluates the hygiene level of restaurants that wish to be designated a hygiene grade. Establishments with excellent hygiene management are awarded a 'Hygiene Star' rating. The Korea Food Safety Management Certification Institute, designated by the MFDS, conducts rigorous on-site evaluations and assessments to assign one of three grades: 'Excellent (3 Hygiene Stars)', 'Good (2 Hygiene Stars)', and 'Fair (1 Hygiene Star)'. After two years from the designation date, establishments must undergo a re-evaluation.

E-Land Park Kensington Hotel & Resort has applied for evaluations since 2018 and received the 'Excellent' hygiene rating for all establishments that underwent re-assessment. On the 17th, three restaurants at Kensington Hotel Seorak in Gangwon Province received an average score of 92.7, earning the 'Excellent' certification, bringing the total number of food and beverage establishments awarded three stars to 34.

An official from E-Land Park stated, "In a time when interest in safe food is increasing, it is very meaningful that all our currently operating food and beverage establishments have received the highest hygiene rating. We will continue to establish a thorough hygiene management system and strengthen on-site staff training to do our best in ensuring customer safety and hygiene management."

Meanwhile, E-Land Park Kensington Hotel & Resort operates a total of 22 branches, including 18 domestic and 4 overseas locations. Representative restaurants certified as 'Excellent' by the MFDS include the steakhouse 'New York New York', the buffet restaurant 'Broadway', and the Chinese restaurant 'Xiang Hao' at Kensington Hotel Yeouido. The food and beverage establishments of Kensington Hotel & Resort that have been designated 'Excellent' can be verified through the Food Safety Nara website operated by the MFDS or the 'Naesonan' application (app).
