Mohegan’s newest jewel, the Inspire Resort, has achieved the pinnacle of luxury accommodation with a prestigious five-star hotel rating. This esteemed recognition comes after a meticulous evaluation conducted by the Korean hotel rating system, overseen by the Korea Tourism Association (KTA).
Situated on the scenic Yeongjong Island in South Korea, Inspire sets itself apart with its three distinctively themed hotel towers: the Forest Tower, the Sun Tower, and the Ocean Tower. Each tower is a manifestation of a different facet of the island’s natural beauty, offering guests a unique and immersive experience.
In its soft opening phase, Inspire has already welcomed guests who can indulge in the opulence of its premium spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, and inviting indoor pool. With an impressive 1,275 rooms ranging from deluxe accommodations to extravagant villa suites, Inspire is poised to redefine luxury hospitality in the region.
The culinary offerings at Inspire mirror the hotel’s unwavering commitment to providing unparalleled luxury experiences. Guests can savor exquisite cuisine at the first Eurasian Michael Jordan Steak House, enjoy the lively atmosphere of MJ23 Sports Bar & Grill, and explore a diverse range of culinary delights from Japanese, Chinese, and European restaurants.
Ray Pineault, CEO of Mohegan, expressed his pride in achieving the prestigious five-star rating, remarking, “This five-star rating for Mohegan Inspire is a testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence and our commitment to providing world-class experiences. This milestone reflects our team’s dedication to upholding the highest standards in the industry and it reinforces our position as a leader in global entertainment and hospitality.”
Chen Si, President of Mohegan Inspire, echoed this sentiment, saying, “I am delighted that Inspire’s hotel facility has officially achieved a five-star rating and I would like to thank our team for their hard work in all areas including facility, hospitality and operations management. What incredible momentum going into this first quarter celebrating the casino’s grand opening – that’s how Mohegan continually sets the standard for integrated resorts that create unforgettable experiences.”
Inspire represents Mohegan’s recent expansion into the South Korean market, with expectations of obtaining its South Korean gaming license in Q1 2024. Mohegan’s COO, Jody Madigan, also confirmed optimistic projections, anticipating the property to achieve positive cash flow by the end of the year. As Mohegan continues to set new standards in integrated resorts, the five-star accolade for Inspire solidifies its commitment to creating unforgettable and unparalleled experiences for guests.
