Where to stay
- Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas — Luxury · 1 min from Samseong Station Exit 5, with an underground link through Parnas Mall
Part of the COEX complex itself — you can reach the halls without stepping outside, which matters in January or in the rain. - The Westin Seoul Parnas — Luxury · In the COEX complex, on Bongeunsa-ro
The newest luxury rooms at the venue, reopened in 2025 in the building that was previously InterContinental Seoul COEX. - Oakwood Premier Coex Center — Upper mid · Linked to COEX Mall by underground walkway; 10 min from Samseong Station Exit 5
Apartment-style units with kitchens — the sensible choice for a stand build, a long stay or a team sharing space. - Park Hyatt Seoul — Luxury · 1 min from Samseong Station Exit 1
Quiet and discreet rather than a convention-hotel lobby — the pick when you want calm after a show day. - GLAD Gangnam COEX Center — Upper mid · On Teheran-ro, near Samseong Station
Four-star with its own meeting rooms — the value tier between the Parnas towers and a plain business hotel. - Shilla Stay Samsung — Business · On Yeongdong-daero, the venue's own street
Shilla's business line: compact, consistent and clean, at a fraction of the luxury rate. - ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Gangnam — Budget · 10 min on foot from Samseong Station Exit 4
The cheapest genuinely convenient option on COEX's own list, on a well-lit main road for the walk back after an evening function.
Before you book
Almost everything here connects underground, so prefer a hotel with a direct COEX Mall or Parnas Mall link over one that is merely close in metres. The two Parnas hotels sell out first for big shows.
Rates swing hard during big shows, and the closest hotels sell out first. If you are bringing a team, we hold room blocks with the hotels below and confirm in English.
