WINNERS GALLERY

Walkerhill Hotel & Resort has once again proven its status as a leading hotel in Korea by securing the top spot for nine consecutive years in the 2025 16th Korea National Brand Awards (NYF K-NBA) in the Hotel & Resort category. Walkerhill Hotel & Resort is located in the prime area which offers marvelous views of the four seasons in Achasan mountain and stunning views of Hangang River in Seoul. As an “All Around Destination” with a wide range of facilities, Walkerhill continues to evolve with constant changes and innovation. Since 2017, it has maintained its position at the top of the National Brand Awards, solidifying its brand competitiveness.

Walkerhill operates a variety of programs tailored to customers’ lifestyles. Including △ The WALKEE Program, an indoor and outdoor leisure program led by leisure expert ‘WALKEE’, △ Park Concerts, featuring orchestral performances amidst nature, △ Cultural Salon, a cultural concert focused on inspiration and relaxation, it presents a wide range of seasonal content. Seasonal content and customized services have been strengthened, such as the renovation of Tenez Park, which offers views of the Hangang River, and the launch of packages tailored to the changing demands for first birthday celebrations (Doljanchi).

ESG management practices are also actively implemented. Through the 2023 in-house sustainability campaign Haenggare (Happy Together), Walkerhill created about 140 million KRW worth of social value. To reduce plastic use, water purifiers were installed in guest rooms, and an ESG Product Zone was set up in the hotel lobby. The hotel has renewed its Environmental Label Certification from the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute, and its Incheon Airport transit hotel received the LEED Gold certification for global eco-friendly building standards.

The expansion of services incorporating technology and innovation continues. In April 2023, Walkerhill accelerated its transformation into a smart hotel by introducing the AI Healthcare Pilot Program as part of its AI-driven hotel strategy. Innovations also include Korea’s first Web3-based membership, W.XYZ, the Harrington Car Driving Program, and the Village Hotel Project to promote local partnerships and adapt to changing times.

Jang Jin-oh, General Manager of Walkerhill Hotel & Resort, stated, “Being ranked number one for nine consecutive years is a recognition that Walkerhill is setting a new standard in the hotel industry through constant change and innovation. We will continue to strengthen our competitiveness by offering unique content exclusive to Walkerhill.”
