Located in southern Seoul’s vibrant center for commerce, Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas has a reputation for its top quality facilities and service, and success in hosting the most heads of state during the G20 Seoul Summit 2010. Along with 25 years of experience, the hotel is committed to achieving sustainable growth as a global leading hotel through strengthening its premium brand image.

Designed by John W. Reifenberg, the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas features classical Korean-style ambiance including distinctive taste and luxury. In order to come up with unique traditional designs for the interior of the hotel, Reifenberg spent months traveling around the peninsula for ideas from ancient palaces.

When the hotel served as the headquarters for ASEM 2000 in the Grand Ballroom, which can hold up to 1,000 people, it became home to a number of major international events.
