Forested riverside resort citadel
A sprawling mountain estate above the Han River combining quiet woodland walking trails, recreational parks, and late-night casino gaming.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A forested Mount Acha estate with Riverpark leisure pools overlooking the Han River.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Shuttles run every ten minutes down Mount Acha's forested slope to Gangbyeon and Gwangnaru stations, linking the hillside to central Seoul.
The rooms
Looking out at Mount Acha or the Han River, choices range from traditional heated ondol suites to private woodland villas.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor Riverpark complex looks out over the Han River, alongside a dedicated indoor lap pool set between brick pillars.
The sauna and gym
Hot plunge pools and washing stations fill the stone Korean bathhouse, alongside a wood-paneled fitness center with free weights.
Restaurant
Ondal
Joseon Dynasty royal court banquets are served with traditional brass tableware beside windows looking onto the Han River.
At the table
The Pavilion serves artisan teas and barista coffee among marble columns and clustered armchairs in the lobby.
How it began
Founded in 1963 and named after General Walton H. Walker, the mountain compound evolved from a state-backed resort into an independent estate.
