The IP Boutique Hotel offers ultra-modern rooms with free wi-fi internet. It enjoys a convenient location in the popular and lively Itaewon District, just 3 minutes’ walk from Itaewon Station.

This colourful, geometrically-patterned boutique hotel evokes a Piet Mondrian painting. Sleek, white walls contrast with post-modernist pop art and brightly-coloured furniture, and the simple cleanliness is very stylish. There is a strong contrast too between the rather dark corridors and the brightly-decorated rooms. Artistic murals stand out against the pure white walls of each room, while mirrors give the room a futuristic edge. Each room also comes with a flat-screen TV, iPod dock and a glass bathroom.

The Grand Ambassador Seoul "associated with Pullman" is located between the Gangnam district and the central downtown area. It is a 10- minute journey to reach the Itaewon, Namdaemum, or Dongdaemun markets. A shuttle bus runs every 90 minutes to Incheon International Airport.

The hotel opened in 1955 and was most recently renovated in 2006 to preserve its 5 star rating. Staff speak good English, and the hotel's buffet breakfast is outstanding. The 6 restaurants in this 19-floor, 5-star hotel include a buffet and a deli, and serve Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Western cuisine. The Gran-A lounge features live music in the evenings.

Standard room amenities include fireplaces in the rooms, mini bars, Internet access, and Satellite TV.
