The Shilla Hotels & Resorts’ premium business brand, Shilla Stay, has opened its latest property in Gwanghwamun, Seoul’s cultural, historical and business hub. Located within ten-minute walk from the nearest subway station, Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun offers an ideal base for business travellers to get around the city.

Designed by Italian architect Piero Lissoni, the hotel’s 339 contemporary rooms reflect his signature minimalist style and feature chic furnishings, 100 percent Hungarian goose-down bedding, and Aveda bathroom amenities.

Catering to corporate travellers, the elegant hotel features a spacious lobby with a bar, perfect for informal meetings, and a business corner where guests can stay connected while working away from the office. Four function rooms are also available with a total capacity of up to 80 people.

The convivial 108-seat restaurant Café, with its outdoor terrace, provides a tempting breakfast buffet as well as a semi-buffet brunch, and transforms into a relaxing lounge bar in the evening, in which guests can wind down the day with wines, beers, and snacks. www.shillastay.com
