Paradise City Phase 1 refers to the first phase of Paradise City, a casino resort and hotel complex near Incheon International Airport in Jung-gu, Incheon, South Korea. The building has 10 floors above ground, and 2 floors below; however, the top floor is labelled as the 11th floor, as the 4th floor was omitted due to Asian superstitions. The building was built out in a Y-shape design, a design commonly found in a lot of casino resorts in Las Vegas.
The two underground floors contain parking spaces, and the first floor features the hotel lobby, a foreigners-only casino, a convention centre, and several fine-dining restaurants. A 3-story bar, named Rubik, also exists next to the convention centre. The third floor features a gymnasium, a bathhouse, guests' lounges, a sky park, and indoor and outdoor pool complex. The sky park, as well as the hallway with restaurants below, acts as a connection point to Phase 2 of the complex, with a rooftop walkway (third floor) and a themed passage (first floor) leading to the retail plaza of Phase 2. A private entrance to Wonder Box, the indoor theme park within Phase 2, is also located near this passage on the ground level.
Floors 5 through 11 feature 709 rooms and suites, distributed between three wings, each named Gold Wing, Purple Wing, and Red Wing, respectively. In addition, two pool villas, usually reserved for high rollers, are located within an annex above the pool deck. The 8th and 9th floors of Gold Wing also features an exclusive sky casino for VIPs.
