The Shilla Seoul has launched a series of packages with one specifically targeting art lovers. 

The Shilla’s standard ‘Summer Savings’ package offers luxury accommodation with double occupancy, breakfast for two, 2 drinks tokens for use at the hotel’s outdoor pool, duty free coupon worth KRW (Korean Won) 20,000 (US$22) and room upgrade, subject to availability.

Valid from July 1 to August 31 2007, this package is priced at KRW210,000 (US$ 227) a night on weekdays and KRW270,000 (US$292) on weekends for a Superior room, or KRW260,000 / 320.000 (US$281/US$356) for a Grand Deluxe room.

Meanwhile, a ‘Leading Arts & Culture’ package features luxury accommodation, breakfast and tickets to Seoul’s celebrated Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art plus a comprehensive city tour of Seoul’s historic and cultural attractions.

Priced at KRW265,000 (US$ 286) for a Deluxe room, or KRW305,000 (US$330) in an Executive Deluxe room, the package is valid until December 31, 2007 with room upgrade for guests staying over three nights.

The Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art which opened in 2004, is located on the slopes of Mount Namsan, just 10 minutes by shuttle bus from The Shilla.

Comprising three central, interconnected buildings designed by world renowned architects Mario Botta, Jean Nouvel and Rem Koolhaas, the Leeum houses one of the best collections of western modern art in Asia, as well as a fine selection of antique Korean ceramics, metalwork and paintings. Permanent exhibits include works by Andy Warhol, Willem de Kooning, Francis Bacon and Damien Hirst. Opening hours are 10.30 am to 6 pm Tuesday to Sunday.

The Shilla, which has been selected as the official hotel for Manchester United’s 2007 Asian Summer Tour, completed an extensive two-year makeover last year creating a "lifestyle destination" with dramatically improved shopping, dining, health and beauty, wedding, conference and business facilities.

The refurbishment includes a new lobby, lounge and bar, conference centre and The Parkview, a new restaurant with open-air terrace, along with the very first Guerlain Spa in Asia.

Also restyled are the grand ballroom, meeting rooms, executive conference centre and all public areas - with a prestigious new shopping arcade now showcasing over 20 world-famous brand name boutiques, high profile Korean labels and famed 'florist to the stars' Paula Pryke.

The 465-room, Shilla Seoul is an affiliate of the Samsung Corporation and member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
