Through April 30: Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas in Samseong-dong, southern Seoul, announced its “Petit Atelier Package” that will be offered until April 30 to allow guests to enjoy a unique experience with their children in a room warmly decorated to look like a cozy attic.

Below the sky-facing windows are Native American-themed tents and couches for infants, and the package comes with a fine art tool set in a wooden case from infant fine art tool brand Dream Art, along with some coloring sheets.

Amenities for kids, including a bath robe and slippers, are available free of charge.

Also, a specially prepared “I Bear” is included in the package as a gift and makes the whole experience even more memorable.

Andaz Seoul Gangnam    
Ongoing: Jogakbo, the restaurant and bar at Andaz Seoul Gangnam, presents the "hip flask to-go" cocktail promotion. As Covid-19 has lasted longer than expected, people’s consumption trends have changed, and they are staying home rather than going out. As a result, dining trends are changing dramatically. However, there are still not many options for drinks, so the hotel's head bartender is presenting to-go cocktails so that people can enjoy high-quality cocktails and spirits for reasonable prices at home. 
 
 
The bar's list has 11 kinds of spirits including Martin Miller’s Gin and GlenAllachie malt whisky and Rebel Yell Small Batch Rye, all of which are served in a bottle that contains four servings. Prices start at 45,000 won. Cocktails are bottle-aged and include the Martini, the Negroni and the Old Fashioned. These international cocktails, as well as customized cocktails, are available for order. Each bottle contains a portion suitable for two cocktail glasses, and are priced at 25,000 won.
