[Westin Seoul Parnas] The Log — Review of the Shinhan Card 40% Apple Mango Bingsu Discount!! Information on Partner Credit Cards for Valet Parking

Dr. Baek’s rating ★★★★★

Hello.

I’m Dr. Baek of Leve Dental Clinic at Sinsa Station, a renowned destination for teeth whitening.

Here’s some useful information for today! This is Shinhan Card’s latest event.

Actually, it started about 10 days ago. This is my review, about a week after my visit.

The Log at Westin Seoul Parnas

This is the place that opened not long ago and gave me a taste of enjoying a lounge.

It is located on the first floor of Westin Seoul Parnas in Samseong-dong.

Let’s take a look at what the Shinhan Card event is all about~

Location: 524 Bongeunsa-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

Parking: Valet parking available. (Three hours of free parking)

The only partner credit card used to be Hana Club One.

However, it seems that more credit cards have been added this year.

Well... starting with Centurion Black, Hyundai Card the Black, and RAUM O, they are all pretty much out-of-this-world cards, so they may not be very meaningful for most people...

But cards up to THE FIRST Hyundai Card or the Purple Card are still worth considering!!

One thing to be aware of is that you must register your parking time after using the restaurant.

If I remember correctly, they registered two hours after we had the apple mango bingsu.

If you do not register it and simply present a partner valet card, you will have to pay the parking fee.

Exterior

It’s quite a grand and impressive space, even when I see it again. Haha.

Personally, I think it is even more impressive than when it was the InterContinental. ^^

The bingsu season is starting now!

It looks like they serve bingsu through September 30.

Three types of bingsu had been launched. They are served in silver bowls by Georg Jensen.

(I didn’t know that when I was eating it... haha.)

Interior

This is the interior after the bingsu arrived!!

Perhaps because we went during the day on a weekday, there were also many foreign visitors.

To be precise, we visited on the second day after the apple mango bingsu was introduced, and it seemed like we were the only ones eating it! Hehe...

The Shinhan Card bingsu event at Westin Seoul Parnas is as shown above.

First, you need to check whether you have an eligible card!

To give a few examples of cards that many people are familiar with:

These are the cards I have.

The Marriott Bonvoy The Best Card,

The ACE Blue Label Card,

and The Best Plus Card.

Those who have these cards are probably well aware of their respective advantages, but...

The Marriott Bonvoy Card: an essential item for business owners aiming for Platinum status (!?)

ACE Blue Label: Parnas membership OR a buy-one-get-one Economy ticket to Japan. Medical expenses and coffee are extra benefits.

Best+: Unlimited overseas payments with double mileage accrual and complimentary hotel beverage vouchers!

Since it’s one card and one bingsu per person, I was able to have it three times~ It would be best to inquire in advance, and reservations are required when visiting.

Apple Mango Bingsu (₩120,000 → ₩72,000)

Today’s main attraction: apple mango bingsu!

I had it twice during a recent trip to Jeju Island, so I was curious how delicious this one would be~ :)

Red beans and mango syrup are served on the side.

The heart-shaped silver plate was also impressive.

I scooped out about this much.

When it comes to apple mango bingsu, cubed mango is the best, you know?

Thinly sliced mango means the mango is firm... and it didn’t have that soft, melt-in-your-mouth apple mango flavor.

It tasted very good.

Personally, with a taste like this... I wondered whether there could be any profit left from selling apple mango bingsu...

Because...

Large chunks of apple mango were piled on top, and it looked like there were more pieces hidden inside as well~~ Apparently, there was truly a generous amount of apple mango in one bowl of bingsu.

The milk-flavored ice was also delicious :) Hehe... it was a rewarding day.

When summer comes, Shinhan Card holds an event allowing cardholders to enjoy apple mango bingsu at a discount using their complimentary hotel beverage vouchers.

Last year, it started on June 2... but it hasn’t started yet this year....

While waiting for that amazing event, I enjoyed the beginning of summer at Westin Seoul Parnas first!

Personally, I highly recommend it. If it’s apple mango bingsu of this quality for ₩72,000, I think it’s worth enjoying gratefully.

This isn’t Jeju Island—it’s Seoul.......

I hope those of you who have Shinhan Card premium cards enjoy a happy bowl of bingsu... I’ll wrap things up here.
