Fodor's Expert Review Soi Hanok Stay

22-6 Cheomseong-ro 81 beon-gil, Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang, 38166, South Korea

One of a number of Gyeongju properties that allows guests the chance to stay in traditional hanok-style accommodations, this charming spot will have you feeling like you've been transported to the Silla era without having to surrender an ounce of modern comfort. The Soi Hanok stay offers just 4 guest suites: Challa, Yeojeon, Mongeoru, and Ohsoudang, each with its own charms, making this an ideal destination for both couples and small families. The ornate, wooden exterior of each building stands in contrast to the modern interior, and the property's central location means that many of the city's premier attractions are within walking distance. The complex also has a garden and 6 cafes. It's certainly one of the most magical places to lay down your head in town, as the style and decor perfectly match the historical surroundings.
