*IHG* GRAND INTERCONTINENTAL SEOUL PARNAS, KOREA, LOBBY LOUNGE&BAR

On one cool summer day, my husband and I visited the lobby lounge at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas. The midsummer in Korea is so hot that we go to the hotel frequently in the summer. Parnas Hotel, located on the ground floor, the Lobby Lounge & Bar offers a variety of seasonal events including a buffet of strawberry desserts and afternoon tea sets.

We went shopping at Hyundai Department Store in the Samsung station next to the hotel and took a rest for a while here.

From Intercontinental Seoul Parnas Homepage

As you can see on the picture from hotel homepage, The lobby lounge&bar is cozy and a little classical. It is different from other hotels that only aim at modern feeling.

Before heading out to the hotel, it is a bit confusing for visitors that the two Intercontinental hotels are very close. If you want to stay in a more beautiful room, I recommend Intercontinental Parnas Hotel (especially Junior Suite, Club Residence Suite... and there is Club Ondol Suite: recommend for foreigners!), or if you prefer a room with a green carpet, you can go to Intercontinental Coex Hotel.

I will soon be reviewing the junior suite at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas Hotel. I would like to recommend that review to people who want to experience shopping in the downtown area of ​​Seoul.
