What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
What really sets it apart from the typical airport hotel, however, is that it’s also a well-equipped, highly functional business hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The grounds sit in Yeongjong Island's International Business Complex, three minutes by shuttle from Incheon's Terminal 1.
The rooms
King beds are dressed in goose-down duvets, and bathrooms hold deep granite tubs made for soaking off long flights.
The lap pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Retractable glass doors open the skylit lap pool directly onto landscaped garden terraces and outdoor loungers.
Spa and gym
Treatment suites host bodywork and facials on the second floor, and both towers maintain 24-hour fitness centers.
Restaurant 8
Eight open kitchens prepare sushi, noodles, and grilled meats across a dining room looking toward the runways.
At the table
Cocktails and whiskies are poured at the illuminated counter, with private karaoke suites tucked away for late drinks.
How it began
Korean Air's parent company owns the property, shaping the aerodynamic glass towers to evoke the airline's yin-and-yang insignia.
