General Manager Eric Swanson brings 20 years of experience in the hospitality business to the Millenium Seoul Hilton.

Swanson, who is motivated by the complexity of the space and the challenges it brings in the midst of a dynamic city, is both a visionary and a task master.

Swanson who is of mixed heritage with a Swedish father and Korean mother is as much Korean as he is American. His advice for aspiring hoteliers is, "don't look too far to the future and stay focused on the now.

Don't look at your peers and focus on yourself and one day you will be recognized for all your hard work." At the end of the day in the hospitality industry, it is about serving the customer in the best possible way.
