Kensington Hotel and Resort has added new types of “character kids rooms” to its Chungju and Gyeongju resort branches in order to appeal to families with young children.
The “wizard’s room” at the branch in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province, is furnished with various props like a sorcerer’s robe and tools, and its wallpaper bears illustrations of bookshelves, brick walls and magical books.
Cocomong Kidsrooms in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, use the animation monkey character Cocomong in two themes of the jungle or the space. Both types are equipped with a kids playing zone, as well as toys, baby bathtubs and other equipment for young guests.
