Why stay at the all-new Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae

If you’re traveling to Seoul, you shouldn’t miss Hongdae. With its rich urban arts and music culture, incredible shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences, the district is renowned for attracting the city’s younger crowd and vibrant spirit.

And now, the trendy district welcomes the arrival of a new hotel with the opening of Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae.

Accor Ambassador Korea, in partnership with Seohan Tourism Development Co., Ltd, has announced the opening of the hotel this August.

Authentic experiences await

Locally inspired and offering a stimulating sense of place, Mercure hotels act as genuine portals to the destinations where they serve. Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae will showcase its design through a series of trendy art pieces and murals.

“Mercure is a trusted brand that allows travelers to really immerse themselves in the destination. Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae is located in close proximity to the four universities, where the district is renowned for its bustling nightlife and underground culture,” said Patrick Basset, Chief Operating Officer, Accor, Upper Southeast & Northeast Asia and the Maldives.

Featuring 270 guestrooms, the hotel boasts an all-day-dining restaurant, a lobby bar, fitness center and laundromat. Offering convenient access to Hongdae Subway Station, guests can explore the neighboring unique cafes, cozy galleries, fashion shops, art markets, clubs, bars and gourmet eateries.

“This is the first hotel opened in the north western part of Seoul. Hongdae is renowned for its vibrant urban arts and amazing music scene. The hotel is located in close proximity to both Incheon and Gimpo International Airport, offering visitors an opportunity to explore some of the great attractions nearby,” said Steve Choi, President in Seohan Tourism Development Co., Ltd, an affiliated company of Ambassador Group.

All guestrooms are fully equipped with Internet of Things (IoT), allowing guests to easily control the furnishings using their own smart devices. Chromecast and Bluetooth speakers are also available to enhance guests’ digital experience.

A business corner and meeting facilities are available for corporate meetings and events while the outdoor courtyard garden offers the perfect venue for private parties and cocktails.

Cool and trendy

Hongdae has become one of the top three tourist spots followed by Myeongdong and Dongdaemun when the Airport Railroad Express (AREX) opened in 2010. One of the hippest areas in Seoul, Hongdae is the hotspot for all the cool and trendy places in Korea.

“The opening of Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae reflects the distinct character and culture of the precinct and we are confident that this new addition to our current 15 hotels in Seoul will provide for even more memorable experiences,” added Vincent Lelay, Vice President of Operations for South Korea.

Accor Ambassador Korea Hotel Management Co., Ltd. is currently operating 24 hotels across seven different cities. Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae is the third Mercure-branded hotel to arrive in South Korea, joining a collection of 800+ addresses globally across 62 countries.
