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
