Shilla Stay Haeundae Hotel

Perfectly located just across from Haeundae Beach, this chic hotel looks more Scandi than South Korean, with dark wooden furniture, oversized lighting and a pale, pared-back palette found everywhere from the lobby to the serene guest rooms.
The stylish little bar at one end of the lobby has a (welcome in winter) modern fireplace and upholstered armchairs that are perfect for sinking into. A pool with a spacious, sunny terrace is tucked away on the rooftop and gives super views over the city and the sea.
