Marriott has expanded its portfolio of hotels
in South Korea with the opening of an AC-branded hotel in Gunpo
city, south of Seoul.
The AC Hotel by Marriott Seoul Geumjeong is the
second AC in Korea, after AC Hotel by Marriott Seoul Gangnam which
opened in 2022.
The new hotel is located just a five-minute walk
from Geumjeong Station and close to major
industrial complexes like Pyeongchon Smart Square, Anyang IT
Valley and Gunpo High-tech Industrial Complex.
Premier Room at AC Hotel by Marriott Seoul Geumjeong in Gunpo, South Korea
From Geumjeong Station it takes approximately 35
minutes by subway to Gangnam in Seoul and approximately a
45-minute drive to Incheon (ICN) airport.
The 22-storey
AC Hotel by Marriott Seoul Geumjeong features 191
rooms, including 19 suites and an 132-sqm penthouse suite.
Facilities include a restaurant, lounge, two rooftop
swimming pools and a choice of two dedicated meeting and event
spaces.
A rooftop bar is scheduled to
open in the near future.
“AC Hotel by Marriott Seoul Geumjeong is the perfect example
of the design-driven guest experience synonymous with the AC
Hotels by Marriott brand, providing everything guests need and
nothing they don’t,” said Lee Hwi-Young, General Manager of AC
Hotel by Marriott Seoul Geumjeong. “With practical comforts that
balance form with function, and expanded guest experience
touchpoints, the hotel is set to serve as a modern stay experience
in the heart of Geumjeong.”
