Hotel Jeonju Hanok Village

Within the boundary of Jeonju Hanok Village, one of South Korea's best-preserved clusters of traditional tile-roofed homes, this two-star property places guests steps from the 700-building hanok district without the 5am tourist crowds that flood the outer lanes by mid-morning.

Rooms carry mountain and landmark views alongside practical touches: bathrobe, slippers, coffee machine, and refrigerator. Family rooms are available, and private check-in suits late arrivals covered by the 24-hour front desk.

Jeonju is the acknowledged capital of Korean bibimbap; the night food stalls along Jeonjucheon stream run directly past the address. The Gyeonggijeon royal portrait shrine sits under ten minutes on foot, and intercity buses to Seoul's Gangnam terminal take roughly two hours.
