Stay
Artistic collaborations at RYSE Hotel —
Hongdae’s boutique scene was officially on the rise when this property opened in 2018, and local crooner Zion.T helped put it in the spotlight when he staged a performance in one of their rooms to launch his new album. Artist Suites devised in collaboration with global designers – from artist Yeojoo Park’s Twilight Zone series in the multi–coloured suite 1504, decked out with neon–tinted windows, to a creative workspace complete with long tables and chalkboards by online magazine Maekan – are sure to get creative juices flowing. The hotel’s hip Side Note Club introduced guests to one of the city’s rare rooftop bars and an indoor space with a vinyl–record press and curated collection of LPs at the guest–DJ’s fingertips.
