Hanok Accommodations
If you want to experience the unique charm and style of a traditional Korean house, you should stay at hanok-style accommodations. Enjoy the beautiful backyard and cool breeze while sitting on a daecheongmaru (main floor), and at night, the soft moonlight coming through the hanji (traditional Korean mulberry paper) covered windows is quite romantic. Here we introduce hotels that recreate the beauty of hanoks, and time-honored houses of old Confucian scholars.
