Where to stay
- Gloucester Hotel KINTEX — Upper mid · About 3 min — the closest hotel to the halls
422 rooms built for exhibition traffic, close enough to go back to your room between sessions. - Sono Calm Goyang — Luxury · About 10 min
The only five-star in northern Gyeonggi, with restaurants, a pool and a sauna — the choice for hosting clients without commuting to Seoul. - StayUp Ilsan Capsule Hotel — Budget · About 10 min
Cheap, clean and minimal — KINTEX's own fallback listing for a one-night stand build or when Ilsan is fully booked. - Ramada Encore by Wyndham Gimpo Han River — Business · About 20 min by car; 10 min from Gimpo Airport
The best-value KINTEX partner hotel if you fly in through Gimpo and exhibit for a day or two. - Mayfield Hotel Seoul — Luxury · About 20 min by car
A garden-estate hotel in Gangseo-gu with banquet halls — quiet, green, and roughly between KINTEX and Gimpo Airport. - Conrad Seoul — Luxury · About 25 min by car
International five-star in the Yeouido financial district, for when your week is split between the show and meetings in Seoul.
Before you book
Walkable rooms at KINTEX are genuinely scarce — the venue's own list has only two properties within 1 km and then jumps to 6 km. Decide early: stay in Ilsan and book months ahead, or stay in Seoul and commute, which is what KINTEX's partner-hotel programme assumes. Shuttles, where offered, must be arranged with the hotel in advance.
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.
