 |
|
many of my adult students have told me that during Chuseok hotels tend to offer discounted rates. I'm thinking of spending a night or 2 doing nothing but relaxing with my girlfriend. Don't mind splashing out on 1 night, was thinking of staying at the Grand Intercontinental. but they're not offering any discount.
Anyone know of some Chuseok hotel deals? |

| yeah, did it last year, but you may have left it too late already. google the Hilton, Walker Hill, Marriot etc. and call their Seoul numbers directly, ask if they have a Chuseok package. note: one of you has to be Korean in order to get the deal, they don't let two foreigners have the discount. |

I should jolly well hope so. Koreans frown on pre-marital sex, you know. And on mixing of the races. |

I was able to find this one:
http://article.joins.com/article/article.asp?total_id=3284833
80,000 won at the Ramada Seoul. It includes a room, buffet for two, free access to the fitness center and 50% off at the sauna. It's not the best hotel around but it still sounds like a good deal considering motels in the Gangnam area easily go for 70,000 won+. |

did you call? or is that changed since last year?
the manager of the Millennium Hilton I spoke to last year said, before I could even ask about the details, that this deal was NOT available for foreigners and only changed her tune when I said one of us was Korean, she (seemingly) reluctantly agreed that would be ok. |

Westin and Shilla stated on their websites that foreigners with arc can stay.

well, that's good. it seems odd that they would even have to state it at all, right? I wonder if they got any complaints... |
