Boutique hotels are a rising trend globally and Seoul is no exception. Here are four new boutique design hotels that have opened in Seoul and its vicinity in 2018.
RYSE
RYSE, which opened in May, is a stylishly designed hotel that has rapidly attracted a fan base among locals.
Located in the hipster Hongdae district of Seoul, it has been branded a “hotel for creative originals” and provides rooms named accordingly such as Creator, Editor, Director, Producer, Artist, and Executive Producer.
Room interiors are sleek and contemporary, and bathrooms have robes designed by Korean fashion brand IISE. The hotel has an art gallery in the basement and a three-storey Worksout flagship store.
The Print Culture Lounge next to the lobby is a stylishly designed rest area to chill and chat.
