Hyatt Regency Incheon,
Incheon, Seoul.
King Room

Our twelve hour overnight connection in Incheon meant that we needed a hotel for the night. Instead of opting for a hotel in town, we made things simple and went for an airport hotel: The Hyatt Regency Incheon.

We easily found the complimentary shuttle for the Hyatt Regency Incheon Airport hotel. The shuttle departs every twenty minutes at XX:07, XX:27, XX:47 past the hour.



The hotel is immediately off the Incheon airport property in a yet to be fully completed airside industrial park. Although close, it does not appear to be walk-able given the configuration of roads and freeway barriers. The hotel can be accessed by the “Airport Railroad”- an elevated light rail train system that links the airport with other areas around Incheon. We didn’t test it out on our visit but the elevated track was in place and the stations were indeed there.

As with many newer Hyatts, we were welcomed with an impressive pleasant looking lobby with a friendly and efficient check in. We were assigned Room #863, a King Room. There were six staff working the front desk at around 11 PM when we arrived. The quick check in process was welcomed as there’s nothing worse than arriving after a journey and having to wait in a long line.



The hotel featured a Karaoke and casino, plus a bar and a lounge off to the side of the lobby. There was also a soothing bamboo décor, lobby art, and a full serve restaurant.







The King Room #863 was nicely furnished, if not somewhat dark on arrival. This was as bright as it would get.









A welcome fruit amenity was also made available, in addition to casino branded chocolates and a personalized note from the manager.





The King room had a plain, utilitarian bathroom. It did the trick.





We had a quick 6 hour sleep here prior to our next flight the next morning. The room and hallways were quite during the hours for 12 AM - 5 AM, which was a relief.

The next morning, we had a nice view of the morning landing runway. We also had view of the morning calisthenics from the construction side for the project immediately next door at the 7 AM roll call. The exercises were a bit unusual from a North American business perspective, but probably common in some Asian countries.







As we left the Hyatt Regency Incheon, the door staff pro-actively called me by name by looking at my luggage tags, asking if the service was up to standard. I thought this was a nice personal touch that you don’t get very often at other hotels.

Overall, the Hyatt Regency Incheon is a nice hotel in the middle of nowhere. There is absolutely nothing around the area and aside from the usual food and beverage outlets in the hotel. There appears to be minimal entertainment around here. In true airport pricing, the room was valued at a steep $260 USD. We used Hyatt Passport Points to redeem at 8,000 points per night, which we found to be a much better value. We’d stay here again if we needed to if we ever had an overnight at Incheon airport again.
