The rivalry between two experienced hoteliers sparks in the Hotel of Seoul when former Head Manager Han Tai-Jun (Kim Seung-Woo) who has returned from the States to restore his position in the Hotel confronts Shin Dong-Hyuk (Bae Yong-Joon), an expert in mergers and acquisitions. While regaining the lost splendor of the Hotel, the two career-minded hoteliers not only fall into a power struggle, but also into love tangles with Seo Jin-Young (Song Yoon-A) and Kim Yun-Hee (Song Hye-Kyo).
After the sudden death of Seoul Hotel, Chairman Choi, customer service manager Seo Jin-Young goes to the US to ask former top hotel staff Han Tai-Jun to take over all hotel operations. Tai-Jun accepts but unexpectedly stumbles into hotel acquisition expert Shin Dong-Hyuk, who is hired by Enterpriser Kim to help take over the hotel.
Dong-Hyuk and Tai-Jun are not only rivals for the hotel, they are both in love with Jin-Young. Dong-Hyuk is head over heels in love with Jin-Young, while Tai-Jun heart has always been with his ex-love and colleague. Jin-Young herself has mixed feelings about this romantic triangle.
