voco Seoul Gangnam, an IHG Hotel, has opened its door on April 2022. As a lifestyle hotel brand 'voco', which is IHG's fourth brand to be introduced in South Korea, voco Seoul Gangnam offers unique lobby, 85 seating all-day-dining restaurant, 600 square-meter ball room and seminar rooms, as well as six different types of 151 guestrooms including Deluxe Singles, Premier Kings and Twins, One Bed Suites, and Presidential Suites.
The word, 'voco' has been originated from the Latin word, 'to invite' and 'call together'. In thinking of voco Seoul Gangnam's own unique 'invite', the design team has wanted to captivate the vibrant energy and the sophisticated mood in considering the location where the hotel is, at the heart of Gangnam district. As once the song, 'Gangnam Style' has struck not only domestically but also internationally worldwide, Gangnam has been definitely a place where culture and entertainment merge together to form a very bold and contemporary experience. There have been many elements heavily mixed in Gangnam, which are uniquely harmonized among radical contrasts derived by the rapid development of the urban master plan since the 70s'. These have been expressed as sleek yet bold, sometimes chic and warm at the same time, resembling as the current image of Gangnam reflects the Seoul's past and the future. In considering the hotel's unique location, the designer has sought to reinterpret various aspects of the present-day Gangnam in the concept wording of, 'The Modern Gangnam'.
