The InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) will build a Voco hotel with over 250 rooms near a
US military base in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province by December 2022.
Voco is a luxury brand owned by IHG.
Pyeongtaek has signed a memorandum of agreement with IHG and construction firm Seraphim Development Co. on the construction of the new voco hotel in the city's Paengseong district, home to the US Forces Korea's base Camp Humphreys.
Construction is set for June next year on a target completion date of December 2022.
The hotel will also have convention facilities, an ice rink, and an outdoor swimming pool. It is expected to create about 2,000 jobs and various other opportunities, such as vocational training for students of local universities.
Gyeonggi's only five-star hotel is with a domestic brand, and the voco hotel will be its first international brand five-star hotel.
A municipal official expects the voco hotel to emerge as a popular travel destination of Pyeongtaek due to its proximity to the US military base, Naeri Culture Park, and other sights.
