voco Seoul Gangnam, an IHG Hotel

checkin

oh it's a worry There's a lot to talk about here. I recently visited Hotel Boco. It was added to the list of 'places I want to go to again' after swiping my card without much thought.

A unique hotel that could not be easily seen in the Garosu-gil~Shinsa line hotel has appeared. It has been open for about a month. It was even full at the time of our visit.

I'm going to share my experiences one by one. I hope this helps those who are looking for some interesting new hotels these days.

🔹Room type: Studio Suite
🔹Amount: 3-40 million won | Weekend + public home
🔹Parking: mechanical parking
🔹Location: 12 minutes on foot from Sinsa Station | Across the street is Garosu-gil


👉 Wide selection of room types

The room I went to this time was 'Studio Suite'
In fact, since this was my first visit, I wanted to feel the brand better, so I chose this room.

But the reason I was shaking and worried when I made a reservation for BOCO. That's because there were so many different room types.
From single rooms, which are the perfect size for single use, some rooms are slightly larger and others have a hinoki bathtub. Please take note of this.

The choice of how to take a rest depends on my needs. Next time, we plan to go to a regular room.


👉 Oh.. Free mini bar in all rooms
When you open the refrigerator, canned makgeolli, canmac, and drinks are lined up to match Oh and Yeol. I thought the only thing I could drink for free was water, but it wasn't.

it's all free The corners of the lips go up. It's annoying to go out at night, but it's ok. If you turn on YouTube on the TV in your room and take out one by one to eat, it is already healing itself.


👉 Pretty experimental bathtub location

This is the 'Studio Suite' room. These days, 'photography' plays a large role. A world where the taste of taking pictures is also an experience of staying. I think it is also important to plan the space in a room that is suitable for taking pictures. I just thought of that when I looked at the bathtub. What was pulled out in front of the window instead of in the bathroom. Pebbles laid under the bathtub. A structure that is not commonly found in hotels in the Seoul area. new.

But right next to the bed. It would be good for one person to watch TV while taking a bath while looking out the window while the other does something else so as not to embarrass each other.

There seems to be a difference in what each person accepts. However, we believe that these experiments will create another room space in the future.


👉 Experience a leading furniture brand for one day

The furniture is also impressive. The furniture is all domestic brands. When I heard the story of the person who designed this place, he said he wanted to give it a little more meaning as it was the first Boco Hotel in Korea.

From Jackson Chameleon lights to Munito sofas and rare lows. Domestic brands that are already prominent. There were brands I wanted to try at some point... It was so nice. We kept messing around until we checked out.

The more I use it, the more I want to own it... If you are a holiday lover who likes furniture, you will enjoy looking at furniture.


👉 Shared kitchen in the hotel??

This was a bit odd. There is a shared kitchen for guests only. Come to think of it, the standard room types in this place are not very spacious. However, if you eat food inside, the smell of food seems to spread quickly.

If you are staying for a long time, it will be even more difficult. Therefore, there is a shared kitchen, which is equipped with all utensils for simple cooking. It's new.. I wonder if it would be possible to have a small community function in this place.

If you don't like the smell of food in your room, you can try using the shared kitchen.


👉 The most convenient mechanical parking among hotels around Garosu-gil

A chronic problem in this neighborhood. parking.
Even if it is mechanical, it is quite inconvenient to put in and take out the tea. Boco didn't. It is very convenient to get in and out because the direction when putting it in the machine and the direction when the car exits are different.

If you bring a vehicle, the experience of the hotel is organized by parking and exiting the vehicle, so this experience came to me quite impressively. First of all, the experience might have been better because the person who helped me in and out was so kind.


So far, we have been talking about Hotel Boco, a brand of the IHG group to which InterContinental belongs.

As I was writing this, the article became long. I don't know who will read them all, but I hope that this article will be helpful to even one person.

upcoming holiday. I end this post in the hope that it will be useful information for vacation lovers who are tired of going out of Seoul and are looking for places to play around.
