Josun Palace stands out with a 26th-floor indoor pool offering panoramic city views of the Gangnam skyline (Josun Palace official, 2026), while The Westin Seoul Parnas runs a summer dining-and-rest hocance package after renovating its pool and rebranding its Cosmopolitan Fitness Club (The Westin Seoul Parnas official / Shinsegae Group Newsroom, 2026). Global-chain lifestyle and design hotels, along with COEX-linked business stays, continue to draw foreign tourists and MZ-generation guests through the summer (Trip.com, 2026).
