Grand Josun Jeju opened on January 8, 2021, in the Jungmun tourist complex, in a building that had been the Kensington Jeju Hotel. Shinsegae's Josun hotels kept the bones, added fifty rooms, and handed the interiors to Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet, the same pair who had just dressed Grand Josun Busan. There are 271 rooms now, five heated pools indoors and out, and a rooftop bar called Peak Point. The Hill suites come with the Gran J lounge and a pool they named Heavenly.

History
The building opened in June 2014 as Kensington Jeju Hotel, an E-Land house with 221 rooms inside the Jungmun tourist complex. The 1979 Korea Condo stands a short way along the same road and still trades as Kensington Resort Jeju Jungmun. Shinsegae Chosun Hotel took the operating rights from SK D&D, remodeled the 2014 hotel, and added about 50 rooms.
It reopened on January 8, 2021, as Grand Josun Jeju, the second hotel under that brand after Grand Josun Busan. Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet, of Humbert & Poyet, designed the interiors, as they had in Busan. The count is 271 rooms. Five heated pools sit indoors and out. The Hill suites keep a private lounge, Gran J, and the Heavenly Pool. A May 2020 plan had aimed at December. The doors opened in January instead.
