Travelodge Hotels Asia has officially opened its fifth hotel in South Korea, the 360-room Travelodge Gangnam Yeoksam Seoul, which becomes the company's largest property in Asia. The fully renovated hotel, located in the vibrant Gangnam district, reflects Travelodge's refreshed brand look and feel and is one of the few newly refreshed properties in the area.
The opening is significant for business travelers and tourists seeking comfortable, value-driven accommodations in one of Seoul's most dynamic neighborhoods. The hotel offers a range of room types, including Queen, Twin, Triple, Quadruple, and Accessible Rooms, catering to solo travelers, couples, families, and groups. Amenities include a spacious co-working lounge, fitness center, meeting facilities for up to 60 people, a business center, guest lounge, and a 24-hour front desk. Breakfast is provided by BON Food Service, and a GS25 convenience store is scheduled to open by the end of October. Additional facilities include 43 parking spaces, self-service laundry, and a currency exchange kiosk.
Kevin Hayes, a business traveler from California, praised the hotel after a four-night stay, noting the quick check-in, fast Wi-Fi, and comfortable bed. "The room had everything I needed for a business trip," he said.
The hotel's location offers convenient access to Seoul's business district, cultural landmarks, and shopping. Seolleung and Jeongneung Royal Tombs are just 600 meters away, while Bongeunsa Temple and COEX Convention & Exhibition Center are within 15 minutes by bus or subway. Gangnam Station Shopping District, Lotte World, Garosu-gil, and Apgujeong Rodeo are also easily accessible.
