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.
