What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Glass, marble, and Art Deco lighting fixtures lend a touch of opulence to public spaces, including an exquisitely furnished all-day lounge and cocktail bar.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Haeundae's sandy beach sits right across the promenade, and the lively dining strip along Gunam-ro is steps away.
The rooms
Bedrooms have warm parquet floors and floor-to-ceiling glass looking out over the city or Haeundae Beach.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool stays heated year-round above the beach, connected to a skylit indoor lap pool.
The sauna and gym
Cardio machines face Haeundae Beach, and the bathhouse has ocean-view saunas and hot and cold baths.
At the table
Lounge & Bar Terrace 292 serves afternoon tea and evening cocktails beside tall arched windows overlooking the sea.
How it began
The building opened in 1988 as the Hyatt Regency Pusan, before Josun acquired and reimagined the property in 2020.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
