“Kensingtonhotel Seorak earns its reputation primarily from its prime location adjacent to Seorak National Park, an undeniable draw for nature enthusiasts. While the hotel aims for a British-themed luxury, some areas require considerable refurbishment; however, the spacious conference facilities and varied dining options, featuring both Korean and European dishes, still make it a solid choice for both tourists and business travelers seeking convenience amid stunning scenery. I think that with strategic upgrades, this hotel could fully realize its potential.”
