Holiday Inn Resort Alpensia Pyeongchang by IHG  

Perched in the car-free Alpensia village at the foot of Pyeongchang’s dramatic ski slopes, this mountain resort sits roughly 2.5 hours from Seoul and 3.5 hours from Incheon Airport. Gangneung’s coastline is about a 20-minute drive away, and major golf courses are a five-minute drive.

Alpine-style, contemporary rooms are warmly decorated and offer fine mountain views. Expect ski-to-door access in winter, easy transfers to slopes, and family-friendly touches like an on-site aquapark. Rooms vary by category but typically include a TV and private shower.

Wake up to crisp mountain air and hit the slopes, then unwind in the sauna or fitness center. The resort features a pool and Ocean 700 water park with wave pools, waterslides and a lazy river, plus a casino, karaoke, BBQ area and wellness services. Free Wi‑Fi, on-site parking, concierge, laundry and accessible elevators keep things smooth.

A state-of-the-art convention center hosts events for up to 1,200 delegates, supported by event facilities and a 24-hour business centre. Ample complimentary parking and on-site meeting resources make this a strong pick for conferences and workshops.

Mountain-facing Mont Blanc restaurant serves Asian-inspired flavors, while the laid-back Edelweiss Lounge is perfect for drinks. There’s also an on-site restaurant, bar and cafe for coffee and casual bites to keep you fueled between adventures.
