Culture and Luxury with Hyundai Hotel Gyeongju

As I am a Global Supporter for Hyundai Hotels in 2017, I had the chance to stay at Hyundai Hotel Gyeongju, one of the five locations of the 5-star hotel chain. Gyeongju is one of Korea’s most culturally exciting cities as it was the capital of Korea’s Silla Dynasty (57 BC – 935 AD). If you are looking for an exceptional location to stay when in Gyeongju, this local will definitely not disappoint you.

HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TO STAY AT
HYUNDAI HOTEL Gyeongju:

LUXURIOUS DESIGN WITH LOCAL CHARM

When stepping through the large doors of Hyundai Hotel Gyeongju, you almost feel like a princess entering a large ballroom. The majestic chandeliers and welcoming staff assure you that you are in for an upscale treat here. The entire hotel features antique furniture, luxurious décor, and first-class service. The hotel faces the beautiful Bomun Lake that is surrounded by cherry blossoms in the spring. Guests can choose between lake view and mountain view rooms.

THE ROOMS IN DETAIL

We were accommodated in a traditional Korean ondol room with views of the lovely lake. Hyundai Hotel Gyeongju does a splendid job of creating comfortable and memorable experiences for their guests. The hotel also specializes in wedding events and banquets of all sort with large ballrooms available for rent. Our Korean ondol room was the perfect balance between traditional and modern with a large luxurious bathroom and beautiful balcony with views of the lake. I was surprised how comfortable the bed on the floor was and how quiet it was when sitting outside on the balcony. The most eye-catching piece in the ondol room is the lovely traditional seating area, perfect for room-service tea or breakfast.

TOPAZ BUFFET RESTAURANT

Topaz is the best restaurant at the hotel and offers delicious buffet options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This upscale buffet restaurant is not only a popular option for hotel guests but also locals come here for special occasions. We had the dinner buffet and breakfast the next day and the food was amazing. We especially enjoyed the mix of Western and Asian options. I liked the fresh steak and meat options as well as the extensive dessert selection.
