An online article in Luxury-Insider.com does a great job showcasing Songdo IBD’s new Sheraton Hotel. I can’t wait to stay there in August.
Sheraton Incheon Strikes First at Songdo City, South Korea
By RACHEL TAN
Gracing the international business district of Songdo City, South Korea is Sheraton Incheon Hotel, only the second Sheraton Hotel to open in Korea in close to three decades.
As the first five-star hotel in Songdo, Sheraton Incheon is set to lead the pack with its signature Sheraton luxury accommodation and services.
More excitingly, the Songdo branch will be the first in Korea to pioneer several new Sheraton features.
To start, an increased focus on environmentally friendly operations has led the LEED (the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rated hotel to declare a fully non-smoking policy within the premises.
Guests will also get to enjoy ‘Link@Sheraton’, a concept to transform the hotel lobby into a social focal point where guests feel at ease to mingle, relax or work.
Decked out in a warm contemporary design mixed with traditional Korean prints, lobby lounging is highly encouraged especially with the inclusion of e-mail and printing facilities.
Unique to Sheraton Incheon is the 24 hours Sheraton Fitness gym facility, a suitable vent for tense business travellers to exercise the stress away. Themed workout programs designed by Core Performance will be made available to those who crave an extra punch in their routine exercises.
Guests may then savour a post-workout meal at any one of the four restaurants and two bars such as Italian restaurant BENE and the all-day dining FEAST.
An eagerly anticipated addition to the heart of the Songdo business district, Sheraton Incheon Hotel will open its doors on 1 August
