The Space

All rooms are spacious, flooded with natural light during the day and have beautiful city views at night. You can choose the bedding to be soft, medium, or hard in advance when booking. The hotel staff take pride in their service and add personalised service for those special occasions for the guests - whether you are celebrating an anniversary or travelling with kids. 

Where We Stayed

We stayed in a deluxe room, 45 square meters in size with a king bed. The room was well lit during the day with natural light and warm lighting at night. There were little details in the contemporary décor showing touches of Korean design. The bathroom was quite spacious with a separate, enclosed shower. The relaxation at the end of a long day in the bathtub, with a view of the city lights was just the perfect preparation for a restful night.
