Westin Hotels & Resorts has opened The Westin Seoul Parnas, an oasis of well-being in the heart of Gangnam, Seoul.
Following the openings of The Westin Josun Seoul and The Westin Josun Busan, The Westin Seoul Parnas offers an urban experience that allows business travellers to restore balance of mind and body amidst busy city life.
The new hotel is designed around four key themes: Harmonic Scenery, Taste Tapestry, Crafted Wellness, and Luminous Stage, reflecting the hotel’s concept of harmony between city and nature, seasonal and local culinary experiences, inner balance and wellness, and experiences that illuminate life’s special moments.
Guest Rooms Offering Refined Urban Relaxation
The hotel features a total of 564 guest rooms, ranging from standard rooms to Presidential Suites across eight room types, all equipped with Westin’s signature Heavenly Bed. Room layouts are optimised for business travellers, while spacious suites cater to long-stay guests. Suite rooms are equipped with Dyson hairdryers, Balmuda electric kettles, and amenities from the niche fragrance brand Diptyque, delivering a premium stay experience.
The interiors of The Westin Seoul Parnas are designed by the globally renowned firm Cheng Chung Design (CCD), reflecting Seoul’s blend of past and present, nature and city. A modern minimalist design is combined with warm textures and organic curves, achieving a balance between traditional sensibilities and contemporary elegance. Neutral tones, natural materials, and subtle lighting create a holistic wellness mood across all guest rooms and public spaces, offering tranquillity and inspiration even in the urban environment.
Of the hotel’s 564 guest rooms, 144 are Club Rooms, with access to the top-floor private lounge Westin Club, featuring panoramic views of the Han River and Seonjeongneung, alongside exclusive club services.
