The Seoul Olympic Parktel, operated by the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (KSPF) under Chairman Ha Hyung-joo, has been honored with the 2025 Agoda Gold Circle Awards. Presented by the global travel platform Agoda, this prestigious accolade is awarded to the top 0.1% of properties among over 3.9 million partner accommodations worldwide. The selection process evaluates customer reviews, price competitiveness, inventory and availability, and service quality.
Parktel earned its place among 170 winning partners through continuous service improvements, customer-centric operations, and a range of customized services. Its strategic location within Olympic Park offers guests a unique blend of nature-friendly relaxation alongside sports and cultural experiences. The hotel leverages nearby walking trails, running courses, the Soma Museum of Art, Olympic Sculpture Park, and the KSPO DOME to provide a differentiated stay.
Additionally, Parktel provides easy access to major Seoul landmarks such as Lotte World Tower, Lotte World, COEX, Hanseong Baekje Museum, and Jamsil Baseball Stadium, with convenient subway connections to the National Museum of Korea and N Seoul Tower.
“We are deeply honored to receive this award, which reflects the satisfaction and trust of every guest,” said a Parktel representative. “Moving forward, we will continue to offer high-quality, differentiated services by combining the natural beauty of Olympic Park with Korea’s cultural heritage and K-culture.”
Established in 1990 with funds donated by Korean residents in Japan to support the successful hosting of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Parktel has positioned itself as a landmark in the Songpa–Gangdong area, prioritizing customer satisfaction above all.
