The name Hotel Shilla comes from the Shilla Dynasty that saw the development of the most dazzling culture and arts during the thousand years of its history.
In March 1979, The Shilla Seoul opened following the will of the late founder of the Samsung Group, Byung Chul Lee.

Hotel Shilla has captivated the hearts of its customers by maintaining tradition while achieving innovation for many years with
a goal of becoming the top hospitality company in the world.

To that end, The Shilla Hotels & Resorts joined the Leading Hotels of the World (LHW) being on par with the world’s best luxury hotels.
It also built a system of three hotel brands by launching Shilla Monogram, an upper-upscale brand, and Shilla Stay,
a premium business brand, based on our original brand value and service capability.
Hotel Shilla also established itself as a global duty-free company, offering domestic and overseas customers
a wide range of trendy products through The Shilla Duty Free, which had inherited the know-how in the service industry.
Moreover, Hotel Shilla is expanding its business into not only consignment operation of domestic and overseas hotels and fitness gyms, but also travel management and healthcare business.

Hotel Shilla promises to grow into a prestigious hospitality company and an advanced distribution business
that delivers its distinguished value, based on creative innovations and a relentless passion for growth.
