ABOUT US

Welcome to Grand Mercure Imperial Palace Seoul Gangnam

First established as Amiga Hotel on September 18, 1989, Grand Mercure Imperial Palace Seoul Gangnam has steadfastly protected the pride of Korean hotels based on its 100% domestic capital and substantial management philosophy. Decades of accumulated expertise and a customer-centric service approach have allowed our hotel to become more than just an accommodation; it is a landmark where both local and international visitors can experience authentic Korean hospitality. Notably, in 2006, we became the first Korean hotel to win a prize at the TIME Readers’ Travel Choice Awards, solidifying our position as a globally recognized luxury hotel with acknowledged standing and service quality.

Currently, the hotel is actively expanding its brand footprint by directly operating Imperial Palace Boutique Hotel Itaewon, situated in Itaewon—Seoul’s vibrant center of culture and trends—and IP City Hotel Osaka in Japan. Building upon these successful domestic and international operational experiences, we are now actively preparing for the launch of another overseas hotel chain brand. This initiative signifies more than just business expansion; it embodies a firm vision for Grand Mercure Imperial Palace Seoul Gangnam to continuously evolve into a global hotel chain and a worldwide hub for business and culture, consistently delivering timeless, ultimate experiences and value to our cherished guests.
