South Korea accommodation

Just a 7 minute walk from Busan’s famous Haeundae beach and around the corner from Haeundae subway station, this hotel is in a great location to make the most of what this buzzing city has to offer.

Designed by Richard Meier, the Seamarq Hotel is a sleek, contemporary beachfront retreat offering striking modern design, an ocean facing rooftop infinity pool and refined dining with effortless year round appeal.

Built with natural materials such as wood, stone, and hanji paper, Sieunjae reflects harmony with nature and respect for Korean heritage.

Spread over the 3rd-19th floors of Busan's iconic LCT tower, The Signiel Busan offers luxury by the sea at its prime location by Haeundae beach.

It’s not just that you’re nearly twice as high as any other building in the city, giving you unparalleled views as far as mountainous Bukhansan National Park. Everything about the Signiel is superlative.

Traditional Korean Hanok houses, with their upturned eaves and tiled roofs show a distinctive architectural style that harmonises with nature, emphasising natural materials and a layout designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

Sofitel is a real treat – a five-star hotel with an indoor pool, spa, and floor-to-ceiling views of Seokchon Lake, fringed with cherry blossoms in spring, red and orange leaves in autumn.

With a soothing neutral colour palette and expansive sea views through floor-to-ceiling windows, the Sono Calm’s 300-plus guest rooms offer a relaxing retreat from this bustling maritime city.

Located alongside Gangmun Beach and its lush pine forests, St. John's hotel offers comfortable luxury in the heart of Gangneung. Rooms are sleek and minimalist with light wooden furnishings and greys and blues to echo the sea outside and every bedroom has a private balcony (though not all have sea views) to relax on.

With 53 rooms, the Sumorum is far smaller and quieter than many of Jeju’s resort-style hotels, and its bright, modern aesthetic and spacious, comfortable rooms make it one of our favourite options outside of the city centre.

Located in the heart of the Jungmun Tourist Complex and just a short walk to the nearest beach, the Seaes Hotel and Resort is the first five-star traditional hotel in Jeju and blends the modern and traditional seamlessly in its luxurious rooms.
