Park Seyon, Chief Development Officer of Seraphim Development, the developer, said, “Over the past two years, we have closely observed the changes in the Pyeongtaek area and held intensive discussions with our partner IHG Hotels & Resorts and Pyeongtaek city officials. Based on a thorough review of what local residents and visitors truly want, we made the groundbreaking decision to introduce InterContinental, the world’s largest hotel brand.”

InterContinental Pyeongtaek will be the fourth InterContinental hotel introduced in South Korea. It will offer various types of restaurants and bars, as well as facilities such as a rooftop swimming pool with views of the surrounding area, providing convenience to local residents and travelers, while also offering spaces for meetings and events.
