The Shilla Seoul is introducing a room package that allows guests to use its outdoor pool, Urban Island, even before check-in.
The "Rewards Early Urban Access" package, available exclusively to Shilla Rewards members, grants access to the facilities starting at 11:00 a.m., earlier than the usual check-in time of 3:00 p.m.
Shilla Rewards is an integrated membership program usable at The Shilla Seoul, The Shilla Jeju, Shilla Monogram, and Shilla Stay, offering benefits such as point accumulation, exclusive packages, and online dining reservations upon joining.
This package allows guests to use Urban Island for an extended time, offering all-day access on the first day of stay from 11:00 a.m. until closing, and on the day of checkout from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
In particular, the period between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., which is between checkout and check-in, tends to be less crowded, allowing guests to enjoy the facilities more leisurely.
The package is available on weekdays until May 31, except for May 4, 5, and 25.
Meanwhile, Urban Island is launching new poolside bar menu items with a Mediterranean concept. The menu focuses on seafood dishes with a tomato sauce base, supplemented by meat options to broaden the selection.
Signature dishes include lobster ravioli, mozzarella cheese roll lasagna, tapas plate, shrimp and crab fried rice, and crispy shrimp spring rolls.
Additionally, two Mediterranean-inspired cocktails will be launched. "Scarlet Breeze" is a drink combining bokbunja (Korean black raspberry) and soda, while the non-alcoholic cocktail "Pine Blue Cloud" features pineapple and coconut for a light and refreshing taste.
