Nestled between the picturesque Achasan Mountain, known for its year-round beauty, and the expansive Han River, Walkerhill Hotels & Resorts offers a wide range of experiences as an ALl-Around Destination proposing a variety of entertainments, going beyond a traditional hotel stay, including healing in nature within the city, along with trendsetting lifestyle experiences, leisure, and cultural offerings.

Since its opening in 1963, Walkerhill has stood at the forefront of innovation in Korea’s tourism industry—launching a new era of premium hospitality in the post-war landscape, where tourism was still in its infancy. Moving beyond simple accommodations, Walkerhill has built a legacy of delivering diverse experiences and has accumulated invaluable know-how and heritage. Today, it continues to pursue bold innovations in preparation for its next leap forward.

In April last year, as part of its strategy to become an AI-powered hotel, Walkerhill launched the AI Healthcare Pilot Program, presenting a future vision of AI-driven hospitality, and has continued to introduce new services in line with evolving trends. These include the Web3-based membership program W.XYZ, featuring Korea’s first hotel offerings such as the Harrington Car Driving Program and the Village Hotel Project.

To further enhance the guest experience, Walkerhill has renewed TENEZ Park and continues to launch fresh seasonal content such as the Walkie Program, Cultural Salon, and Park Concerts, expanding the definition of hotel services. In addition, Walkerhill leads the way in ESG management by reducing plastic usage through in-room water purifiers and launching an ESG Product Zone in the hotel lobby. These efforts have resulted in exceptional customer satisfaction and led to Walkerhill being awarded first place in the Hotel & Resort category of the Korea National Brand Awards for nine consecutive years.

Walkerhill operates three distinct brands tailored to diverse guest preferences: ‘Grand Walkerhill Seoul’, offering refined facilities and heartfelt service for a truly relaxing and elegant stay; ‘Vista Walkerhill Seoul’, delivering energy and vitality through a fresh and trend-forward experience; ‘Douglas House’, a tranquil forest retreat offering peaceful rest and quiet contemplation like a private villa in nature.

Furthermore, Walkerhill offers the best in inspiration and enjoyment through its restaurants and bars, which present premium culinary experiences crafted by world-class chefs; seven banquet halls, where experts deliver exceptional hospitality; and a wide range of facilities such as the Theater of Light, Forest Park, River Park, and TENEZ Park. Additionally, Walkerhill extends its unique value beyond its flagship location by operating key facilities such as the Transit Hotel at Incheon International Airport, the ‘Matina Lounges’ at Terminals 1 and 2, the Korean restaurant ‘Jayeon’, Korea’s first capsule hotel ‘Darakhyu’, and clubhouse restaurants in the outskirts of Seoul.

Looking ahead, Walkerhill remains committed to its vision—“Beyond Entertainment, Elevating Excitement”—as it continues to deliver differentiated leisure content while actively advancing its ESG initiatives. With this, Walkerhill will further solidify its position as a true leader in Korea’s hospitality industry.
