“Hongdae has become one of the top three tourist spots followed by Myeongdong and Dongdaemun when the Airport Railroad Express (AREX) opened in 2010,” says  Vincent Lelay, vice president of Operations for South Korea. “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. We are confident that this new addition to our current 15 hotels in Seoul will provide for even more memorable experiences.”
