"Some global chains might feel intimidated at the prospect of opening an Alpine-style resort in Korea’s Taebaek Mountains, but not this one. The Intercontinental Alpensia Pyeongchang Resort shows the influence of classic European mountain lodges, as well as plenty of Korean heritage in its art and design. But underneath it all it’s the same large-scale, ultra-luxe, eminently palatable, highly professional hospitality that is the InterContinental brand’s stock-in-trade." - Tablet Hotels
