The destination hotel for families, actresses and newlyweds-to-be, the Mayfield Hotel not merely a hotel, but a well-rounded venue dedicated to guests, tourists, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. To call Mayfield a hotel is almost unfitting, as the building resembles a Scottish castle with its emerald green and beige pillars. Imagine the secret garden of Madame Proust or better yet, a scene from “My Love from the Star”, cause you are not mistaken—the K-drama was filmed here. The hotel consists of 202 rooms of all shapes and sizes, ranging from Studio Suites with European curves and twists, as well as 1-bedroom suites, an indoor fitness center, swimming pool, and rooms with ondol heated floors. Pulled from the chapters of a modern fairy tale, the venue is especially popular among young couples, as the site serves as the ideal backdrop for wedding photos and doljanchis (traditional party celebrating the first birthday of a baby). Swing by the hotel’s own barber and beauty shop to doll-up on the spot—and as for the kids—there’s a kids’ café and a Charlie Brown character shop to keep their wandering eyes busy.
