Hilton announced the launch of DoubleTree by Hilton in Korea with the opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Seoul Pangyo.
“The launch of DoubleTree by Hilton in Korea is testament to Hilton’s commitment to establishing our presence in enticing gateway cities across the region. South Korea is a dynamic destination for business and leisure with strong projected growth for the coming years. We are optimistic that DoubleTree by Hilton Seoul Pangyo will be well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of our guests,” said Timothy Soper, Area Vice Vresident, Head of Japan, Korea & Micronesia, Hilton.
Being the first upscale full-service hotel and residences in the south Gyeonggi area, DoubleTree by Hilton Seoul Pangyo joins the brand portfolio of over 660 hotels globally and almost 100 hotels in Asia Pacific.
“For more than 50 years, DoubleTree by Hilton has been delivering friendly, approachable, and unpretentious hospitality to comfort-seeking guests around the world. As one of the fastest-growing Hilton brands in Asia Pacific, we’re excited to extend a warm welcome to guests in Korea with the brand’s debut in one of the region’s most vibrant destinations. DoubleTree by Hilton is all about inspiring guests with feel-good moments, and this starts from the moment they come through our doors with our signature, warm DoubleTree chocolate chip cookie,” said Vincent Ong, Vice President, Full Service Brands, Asia Pacific, Hilton.
Spanning 25 floors, DoubleTree by Hilton Seoul Pangyo is the largest full-service hotel and residences complex in southern Gyeonggi. The dual building complex comprises 432 hotel rooms and 170 residences respectively, designed in neutral tones and muted colors inspired by the lush foliage surrounding the property.
“With a full-service hotel sitting alongside a spacious residence, we are ready to extend a double dose of comfort and care, whether to the business traveler here in town for a few days, or the leisure traveler who is looking to clock in a longer stay,” said Peta Ruiter, General Manager of DoubleTree by Hilton Seoul Pangyo.
