The recognition is the highest rating in the Korean system.
Situated on the picturesque Yeongjong Island in Incheon, Mohegan Inspire’s soft opening phase has already captivated guests with its three distinctively themed hotel towers – Forest Tower, Sun Tower and Ocean Tower. Each tower is an architectural embodiment of the island’s natural beauty, offering guests a serene and luxurious escape.

In the restaurant category, one of the cornerstones for the hotel rating, Inspire offers exclusive international culinary choices from around the world. These offerings include the first Eurasian Michael Jordan Steak House and MJ23 Sports Bar & Grill, along with Minagi, a contemporary Japanese restaurant and Hong Pan, a relaxed dining venue with an array of traditional Chinese delicacies, from Beijing duck to dim sum. Inspire is also home to Brasserie 1783, specializing in European-inspired fare and Garden Farm Café, a farm-to-table concept in addition to Chef’s Kitchen, a buffet restaurant and open kitchen concept with six live stations. At the Aurora Bar, located on Aurora, an immersive digital entertainment street, visitors can savor cocktails while enjoying spectacular performances. The Horizon Lounge, located in the main lobby between Forest and Sun Tower, welcomes guests with a captivating design and delectable snacks and crafty beverages amidst a beautiful backdrop. Each venue at Inspire is thoughtfully curated to offer sumptuous culinary journeys, reflecting Mohegan’s spirit of hospitality and unmatched attention to detail.
“I am delighted that Inspire’s hotel facility has officially achieved a five-star rating, and I would like to thank our team for their hard work in all areas, including facility, hospitality and operations management,” said Chen Si, President of Mohegan Inspire. “What incredible momentum going into this first quarter celebrating the casino’s grand opening – that’s how Mohegan continually sets the standard for integrated resorts that create unforgettable experiences.”
