Hotels along Yeouido and the Han River are seeing surge demand and high occupancy ahead of the Seoul World Fireworks Festival on Sept. 5. Major properties like Conrad Seoul, Kensington Hotel Yeouido, and Hotel Naru report around 90% or higher occupancy; Conrad’s premium rooms near 2,063,463 KRW (about 2 million won) for the night are already sold out on its official site. Hotels are offering special packages (e.g., dinner buffets, unlimited drinks, infinity pool parties) and promotions to capture viewers who prefer to watch from rooms or stay nearby to avoid heavy traffic. The festival, featuring teams from the UK, US and Korea with a Korean finale, has become a recurring short-term revenue boost for riverside hotels, with demand intensifying as the event approaches.
