Hilton Hotels & Resorts has announced a landmark partnership with INSPIRE Entertainment Resort, unveiling plans for a 1,275-room integrated resort hotel that will become Hilton’s largest property in the Asia Pacific region. The agreement, structured as a franchise, positions Hilton at the heart of one of South Korea’s most ambitious entertainment destinations.
Strategically located just 15 minutes from Incheon International Airport on Yeongjong Island, INSPIRE Entertainment Resort is set to redefine leisure and hospitality in the region. The resort features three uniquely themed hotel towers, Forest, Sun, and Ocean, each offering distinct interior designs and luxurious accommodations.
Guests will enjoy access to South Korea’s first 15,000-seat performance arena, an indoor water park beneath a glass dome, a casino, extensive MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) facilities, and a 150-meter digital entertainment street lined with shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.
“This partnership highlights our unwavering commitment to expanding Hilton’s footprint across South Korea,” said Clarence Tan, Senior Vice President of Development, Asia Pacific, Hilton. “By uniting Hilton’s century-long legacy of exceptional hospitality with INSPIRE’s visionary destination, we are poised to redefine the guest experience, delivering unforgettable moments for both international travelers and local guests alike.”
Chen Si, President of INSPIRE Entertainment Resort, emphasized the strategic value of the collaboration: “We are thrilled to partner with Hilton, a hospitality leader with global reputation and powerful loyalty ecosystem, which will enable INSPIRE to connect more deeply with travelers across Asia and beyond. This collaboration marks a crucial milestone in INSPIRE’s journey to becoming a world-class entertainment destination.”
Hilton’s presence in South Korea dates back to 1983, and the brand has played a pivotal role in shaping the country’s hospitality landscape. Joseph Khairallah, Area Vice President for Japan, Korea & Micronesia, noted, “Our partnership with INSPIRE continues Hilton’s journey and momentum to provide unparalleled travel experiences for guests from South Korea and abroad.”
The resort will participate in Hilton Honors, the company’s award-winning loyalty program, offering members exclusive benefits such as flexible booking options, member discounts, free standard Wi-Fi, and access to the Hilton Honors mobile app.
With this partnership, Hilton not only strengthens its presence in South Korea but also sets a new benchmark for integrated resort experiences in Asia, promising a dynamic fusion of luxury, entertainment, and cultural immersion.
