Accor-owned hotel brand Mercure has expanded its presence in South Korea with the opening of the Mercure Ambassador Seoul Magok in the city's Gangseo District.

This new establishment is set to cater to the needs of both leisure and business travellers, offering a blend of modern amenities and local culture.

Mercure Ambassador Seoul Magok general manager Yoon-Jung Lee said: “We are excited to open the doors of Mercure Ambassador Seoul Magok and look forward to welcoming guests from near and far.

"Our goal is to provide a memorable experience that captures the spirit of this vibrant district, offering a comfortable and inviting space for both leisure and business travellers.”

The design of Mercure Ambassador Seoul Magok is influenced by the Magok District's spirit, featuring Korean design elements, local motifs, and the use of eco-friendly materials.

The hotel boasts 400 guest rooms and suites, including junior and executive suites with separate living areas ideal for extended stays and business travellers, as well as deluxe triple rooms for families or groups.

Several rooms also offer views of the Seoul Botanic Park and the hotel’s rooftop gardens.

The hotel's dining options include Moasis, an all-day dining restaurant that offers seasonal dishes in an environment enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows.

Guests can also use the fitness centre or the naturally lit indoor pool for wellness and relaxation.

Accor Premium, Midscale, and Economy Asia chief operating officer Garth Simmons said: "The opening of Mercure Ambassador Seoul Magok marks a significant milestone in strengthening our presence in Seoul, one of Asia’s most dynamic and high-potential cities. This hotel is a remarkable addition to the vibrant Gangseo district, strategically located to serve both leisure travellers and business communities.

“With Mercure reaching 1,000 hotels globally this year, we are excited to continue our upward momentum in Asia. This hotel will not only enhance our offering in Seoul but also create new opportunities for the neighbourhood, further supporting its dynamic development.”

Mercure Ambassador Seoul Magok is located just a ten-minute drive from Gimpo International Airport and a 40-minute drive from Incheon International Airport.

A mere five-minute walk from the hotel to Magoknaru Station provides convenient access to Gangnam, Myeongdong, and Hongdae.
