What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Steps inland from the beach, with invigorating views over the Korea Strait, Fairfield Busan Songdo Beach exemplifies the waterfront serenity that has made this region attractive for centuries.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Songdo Beach and its coastal promenade sit directly across the street, with Jagalchi Market a short drive away.
The rooms
Floating bedframes keep the compact layouts uncluttered, and ocean-facing rooms look straight out across the water.
The gym
Technogym treadmills line the third-floor fitness room, looking straight out through floor-to-ceiling glass toward Songdo Beach.
Restaurant
Songdo Kitchen
Top-floor windows look out across the bay. The dining room serves morning buffets, pasta, and grilled steaks.
At the table
An illuminated terrace tent holds low wooden tables and camp chairs for glamping-style dining.
