MK News – "Gourmet Hotels Worldwide"

The exclusive brand hotel 'The Escape' of Shinsegae Chosun Hotel opens its doors on July 19 in Toegyero, Jung-gu, Seoul. Les Capes is a French boutique hotel in Paris, France.

The Shinsegae Hotel Chosun operated three hotels, the Westin Chosun Hotel Seoul, which is the oldest hotel of its 104-year history, and Busan and Four Points by Sheraton Namsan. However, it is the first time that Les Capes is promoting its own brands, not foreign brands.

The Capes is a concept of "authentic French shop". The 204 rooms are all slightly different. Designed by the French hotel architect Jacques Garcia, the hotel was unique with embroidered silk wallpapers and 19th century paintings. It differs from the other hotel concept of modern feeling.

The price of the room is expensive. The Atelier Suite, which costs 528,000 won per night (on the official website, excluding taxes), is the main product. About 40% of the rooms were suites (80 rooms), emphasizing "luxury". The best cabin, The Capes Suites, costs 8 million won per night.

For the first time, Shinsegae focuses on restaurants while offering its own branded hotel. There are only about 200 rooms, but there are five restaurants, including a Chinese restaurant and a western restaurant, a tea room serving French dessert, a coffee station and a bar. There is no buffet.

This is an badessment that reflects the likes of general manager Kim Bumsoo, who is a gourmet blogger and vice president of the Shinsegae group. Kim, who has been in charge of Shinsegae Food and E-Mart Foodservice since 2011, said, "The price of a room in Korea is similar to that of the big cities of the world, but the restaurant was relatively expensive. I had confidence.
