Celebrating 60 years since the founding of the Ambassador Hotel, the Ambassador Group has opened up a hotel museum to showcase their history. In Korea, this hotel is the oldest of all the hotels that still remain. They started off as the Geum-su-jang Hotel in 1955 with 19 rooms and have grown into a massive group that owns 17 hotels in Korea’s six major cities. The late Hyun-su Seo, who was the founder and former president of the Group, and Jung-ho Seo, the current president for the Ambassador Group has remodeled their previous home into a museum. Their old uniforms, utensils they used in their very first hotel restaurant and old menus that have faded over time are just some of the vintage articles you’ll be able to see at this museum, which is located behind the Grand Ambassador Hotel in Jangchung-dong.
