The soft buzz of conversation starts early in the Lobby Lounge, where light bites and drinks are served, starting at 8 am. Throughout the day, travellers and locals find their way to the relaxed atmosphere for live jazz music, coffees and teas prepared in the traditional Korean way. During the evening “Wonder Hour,” drinks and a snack buffet are just enough to whet the appetite before a night on the town.

Tucked in a hidden corner to provide a bit of much-appreciated privacy, the Lobby Bar is a favourite escape for travellers as well as local executives. Guests settle into plush sofas and order from a full bar selection that includes premium wines and whiskeys and classic cocktails. Every month, a new brand is featured during “Whiskey Hour,” from 11 pm to 2 am.
