| Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome
to The Westin Chosun Hotel. It's been
90 years since our hotel was first built
in 1914 and for all these years, we
have had a tradition of being Korea's
leading hotel for hosting VIP's, holding
special functions and sharing memorable
moments. |

| The Westin
Chosun Hotel is located in the heart
of Seoul, where Prince Ko-Jong was known
to perform a traditional ceremony (Jesa)
to honor his parents. Since the beginning,
this splendid hotel was used to house
guests of state, dignitaries, foreign
officials, as well as being the center
of political, economic, and social gatherings.
At the end of the Japanese occupation
in 1945, President Seung Man Lee proceeded
to change the hotel's name to "Chosun
Hotel" from the Japanese name "Chosen
Hoteru". Soon after Independence
Day, the hotel was at the center of
a series of historic events, such as
the US occupation during the Korean
War, the invasion of Incheon Beach and
the establishment of the 3rd Republic.
In 1979, the world famous Westin International
Hotel group invested The Chosun Hotel,
leading to our current name The Westin
Chosun Hotel. In 1995, Shinsegae bought
The Westin Chosun, making it the first
hotel in Korea to be 100 %locally owned.
The Westin Chosun Hotel has survived
through out history and continues to
provide firstclass service and quality
to our customers. |

Chosun Hotel continues this tradition
of innovation in the hotel industry
through computerization digital communication,
PDA and we are seeking new ways of using
technology to improve our service. You
