Intercontinental Alpensia Pyeongchang Resort

The Taebaek Mountains got an Alpine-style resort, complete with pine-paneled rooms, lake views, and enough ski terrain to keep you busy for days. The InterContinental Alpensia Pyeongchang is a large, full-service mountain resort where Korean heritage shows up in the art and design, though the overall feel is polished international chain, close the curtains and it could be Seoul. Summer brings golf, hiking, and a water park; winter adds skiing and a luge track nearby.
