Josun Palace is the fourth brand launched by Shinsegae’s hotel unit Josun Hotels & Resorts, after L'Escape Hotel, Grand Josun and Gravity, and is the company’s highest-grade label.
Under the brand slogan “Exclusively Yours,” Josun Palace boasts 254 lavishly appointed guest rooms as well as The Great Hall on the third floor that can accommodate up to 330 people for banquets and other events.
