Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The hotel sits in Nonhyeon-dong between Hak-dong and Sinsa stations, with the boutiques and tree-lined cafés of Garosu-gil nearby.
The rooms
Duplex cabin suites feature double-height living areas opening to private terraces, with curved timber paneling cocooning the mezzanine bedrooms.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Crystal chandeliers hang above the heated indoor pool, and a seasonal lap pool sits on the annex terrace.
Sauna, baths and gym
Light timber Finnish saunas sit beside cold plunge baths. Next door, the gym has a dedicated Pilates studio.
At the table
Poissons lays out fresh seafood breakfast buffets, and Beckett serves artisanal baked pastries under vaulted red-brick arches.
How it began
SKM Architects drew inspiration from medieval monasteries and ship cabins to create a quiet subterranean refuge within the city.
