In the area bordering between the vast Gyeongpoho Lake and East Sea, Seamarq Hotel is quietly awaiting its guests to spend a few days to fill themselves with fresh energy. By deftly combining ocean view guestrooms, healthy plates made with in-season food ingredients, and facilities to invite into picturesque scenery, the owner of the hotel convey wishes for guests to delve into immersive time of retreat and relaxation. Indeed, one of the remarkable outcomes of the poetic architect, Richard Meier presents a blend of past and present in a space to thus, offer aesthetic satisfaction by simply touring around the facility.

The hotel categories eleven different types of guestrooms into Premium Deluxe, Gallery Double and Suite. As for Suite, in particular, each guestroom is designed to reveal distinctiveness of Seamarq hotel, with the penthouse, Presidential Suite, Corner Suite with panoramic ocean view, Korean Suite that is sprinkled with inspiration from Korean tradition, and Hoanjae that invites guests into experiencing Korean traditional housing, hanok. What is taking up the entire fifteenth floor of the hotel building, Presidential Suite boasts spaciousness and privacy for guests. Notably, the room is designed with large windows to enjoy ocean view from all angles. And Corner Suite, on the other hand, is designed to present marvelous view of pine trees and ocean. Korean Suite, quite peculiarly, is reinterpretation of Korean aesthetics with modern updates. Hoanjae is an independent building that reveals itself at the end of a walking path outside the main building of the hotel. A brilliant combination of aesthetics of Korean traditional housing idea and convenience of hotel creates a elegant and private space.

Careful consideration for even the smallest details resulted in modern and sleek design idea throughout the entire hotel that any parts of the facility – lobby, restaurant, lounge and library – make splendid photo zones. Notably, a significant part of the hotel is open to the outside view through large windows. These windows let sunlight into the architectural masterpiece to culminate the modern design idea. The indoor swimming pool with ocean view and the outdoor infinity pool creates a variety of ambience and scenery throughout the day that you will definitely spend immersive time surrounded by nature. Moreover, a walking path outside of the hotel will take you to time of breathing in subtle smell from sea breeze. Or you may think about having some carefree time riding around rental bikes along Gyeongpoho Lake. And then you may finish your day, walking along the beach and listening closely to waves splashing on rocks and beaches.
