Seoul Staycation with a Han River View at Hotel Naru

It felt like I wasn’t in Seoul at all. Hotel Naru MGallery truly offers a "breathing space." With the Han River flowing outside the window and a quiet, cozy room inside, it’s the perfect place to take a pause. Especially during the evening, when the sunset starts to paint the Han River, sitting by the window and simply gazing at the view melts away all the fatigue of the day. That view alone is worth the price of the stay. The room interior is minimalistic yet stylish, and the lighting naturally dims to enhance the ambiance. The bathroom amenities are luxurious, and the bedding is simply impeccable. And the rooftop pool! I couldn’t believe you could enjoy such a view while swimming in Seoul. The night view from the water feels like an entirely different world. Healing in the heart of Seoul, if you want to take a breather, even for just a day, I highly recommend Hotel Naru. I also visited Buajeng—it’s so upscale. 📍 Location: 8 Mapo-daero, Mapo-gu, Seoul 📍 Check-in Tip: Be sure to request a Han River view room! 📍 Nearby Recommendations: Take a stroll along the Han River, then visit Gongdeok Jokbal Alley or go on a café tour in Yeonnam-dong.
