Hanok hotel Gyeongwonjae Ambassador Incheon is located at Central Park in Songdo, Incheon. It was designed by leading Korean architects Choi Gi-young, Kim Seong-ho, and Lee Geun-bok, who respectively infused traditional daemokjang (wooden architecture), chiljang (lacquering), and beonwajang (roof tiling) methods from the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties. The hotel is divided into two parts: "Gyeongwonjae" for guest rooms and "Gyeongwollu" for the banquet hall. Gyeongwonjae embodies the elegance of a hanok and the conveniences of a modern hotel. Soft light filters through paper windows, and the bed is positioned under exposed rafters. The hanji (traditional Korean paper) wallpaper and luxurious furniture craft such a perfect aesthetic that guests might not even need to visit a folk village to experience traditional culture. Each room also has a cypress wooden bathtub. Gyeongwollu is a two-storied pavilion constructed in the Goryeo style. The crested eaves contrast with the modern building jungle skyline. Guests can enjoy a number of à la carte dishes and traditional royalty course meals at the hotel restaurant, Sura.
