Shilla Stay Jeju

Three hundred rooms fill up South Korea’s Shilla Stay Jeju, which opened last month in Jeju City. Ten minutes away from Jeju International Airport, the hotel sits in the downtown shopping area, close to attractions such as the Jeju Museum of Art, Halla Arboretum, Yongduam Rock and beaches like Gwaki and Hyeopjae. Facilities include a restaurant with ocean views, a breezy rooftop lounge, meeting rooms for corporate events, a business centre and a gym. It may not be particularly luxurious or quirky, but it’s a pretty affordable choice for a visit to the land of K-Pop.
