① A Suite That Costs $16,000 Per Night
The Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas is once again attracting attention after being featured on Rain’s YouTube channel, “Season B Season.”
At the time, Rain enjoyed a staycation at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas.
He visited the top-floor suite on the 32nd floor of the hotel, the Club Presidential Suite.
Rain was surprised to hear that the room rate was 18,150,000 won ($16,000) per night at check-in.
He asked, “Are there Koreans who use the top suite?” To which the staff responded, “Yes, celebrities,” and mentioned that BTS also uses the room.
This place is also known as the regular accommodation for world-renowned soprano Jo Su-mi when she visits Korea.
The Club Presidential Suite has housed domestic and international leaders, including former Chinese President Hu Jintao during the 2012 Nuclear Security Summit.
Netizens reacted to the video with comments like, “Wow, I’m satisfied just by looking at the $16,000 suite,” “Oh, it looks like the place I saw in BTS members’ personal videos,” and “I’m short by 500 won ($0.44) to go there.”

③ Package Product Launched for the First Time in 33 Years Since Opening
Meanwhile, the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas launched a package for the Presidential Suite for the first time in 33 years since the hotel opened last year.
The package price was $8,800 at the time, which was considered unprecedented.
The hotel’s top suite was usually open only to dignitaries and VIPs, both domestic and foreign.
It’s hard to find a case where it was packaged for the general public.
The top suite is a room that measures the competitiveness of the hotel.
The room price of $8,800 per night is not a cheap price to pay, so the hotel was reluctant to expose the interior and room composition to the outside.
However, as the spread of COVID-19 increased the number of people looking for luxury hotels, suites also began to attract attention.
The suite package of the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas at the time included a private pick-up, exclusive use of a yacht at Banpo Han River Park, a hotel fine dining dinner worth $350 per person, and Dom Perignon.
It garnered attention for offering the opportunity to use luxurious facilities in a luxurious place.
Despite the high price, there were quite a few phone inquiries as soon as the room package was released.
