Hwanglidan-gil is an alley that has often been referred to as “Hwangnam Keungil” in the area of Poseok-ro in Hwangnam-dong, Gyeongju and is lined up with buildings that were built back in 1960s and 70s. Fascinatingly, the area shares atmosphere that has continued for decades. Walking for about five minutes from the bustling Hwanglidan-gil, “Stay Inyeon” is quietly waiting for its guests. Named after the host’s twin daughters, the stay is a remodeling of two units of Korean traditional housing, hanok that were built in 1974, with modern interior design idea and high-end home appliances to ensure pleasant experience in staying.

Stay Inyeon welcomes its guests with five different room types, with Stay In A and B in the building on the left and Stay In A, B and C in the building on the right. Each room is independent from other rooms with separate entrances and a private front yard, replacing public spaces and front yard that are normally found in a conventional hanok, so that guests can spend quality time in privacy. In particular, Stay In A can accommodate as many as six persons with a spacious living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each room serves guests with a private deck and a rooftop and attracts guests with high-end home appliances, including a 4K beam projector, speakers from Bang & Olufsen and a steam clothing care system.

To make sure that every guest can spend time with utmost comfort, the host makes ceaseless efforts. For instance, quite unlike other places in downtown Gyeongju, the stay offers large parking spaces, and each room serves guests with high-quality bedding, a beam projector and Dyson Air Wrap. From amenities, accessories and lightings, you can see how considerate and sensible the host is. For breakfast, the host carefully selects and prepares bread baked in one of the best-known bakeries in the town, “Patisserie Won,” beverages and Nespresso capsule coffee so that guests may fill themselves with energy before starting their exciting journey. If you are planning your vacation in Gyeongju, Stay Inyeon will make the top of your list for its detail and thoughtfulness.
