WINNERS GALLERY

Walkerhill Hotel & Resort (“Walkerhill”) has been recognized as the best hotel in Korea offering a trendy urban lifestyle and diverse experiences in leisure and culture. Walkerhill was selected as the winner in the hotel & resort category at the 15th Korea National Brand Awards. This achievement marks eight consecutive years of being ranked number one, since 2017. Walkerhill has been highly praised for providing not only diverse experiences beyond hotel stays but also for delivering the utmost satisfaction to its guests.

Celebrating its 60th-anniversary last year, Walkerhill is embarking on various changes and innovations to evolve into a hotel for the next 100 years. First, it launched a new NFT-based membership service called ‘W.XYZ’ that connects the lifestyle of the younger generation with technology, the first of its kind in the domestic hotel industry. Additionally, it successfully hosted the ‘Walkerhill Park Concert,’ where culture and music were enjoyed in the great outdoors, utilizing surrounding natural environments, such as the Han River and Achasan Mountain.

Collaborating with the global K-pop group NCT DREAM, Walkerhill presented various content, including △ guest rooms decorated with a theme of love for fans, and △special experiential exhibition spaces, such as showrooms. It also introduced new K-pop paradigms through media art performances at the Light Theater. Furthermore, ‘The Buffet,’ renewed as a high-quality fine dining buffet with a beautiful view of the Han River, has been receiving great responses from customers by presenting F&B embedded with Walkerhill’s 60-year heritage and upgraded services.

Since declaring itself an ‘eco-friendly hotel’ in 2021, Walkerhill has been reinforcing ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) management both internally and externally, solidifying its position as Korea’s leading eco-friendly hotel.

Jang Jin-oh, the general manager, expressed his profound joy at winning the Korea National Brand Awards for eight consecutive years, stating, “It is meaningful and delightful to be recognized for Walkerhill’s efforts to prioritize customers.” He further added, “Since last year, we have been focusing on providing trendy and evolved hotel services and will continue to strive as a leader in the Korean hotel industry, guiding its future development” .
