Neighbourhood guide
A day around Seolleung
From pines at dawn to alleys at dusk: places you reach on foot from the hotel door.
Dawn & morning
The forest of pines · 3 min walk
Seolleung & Jeongneung
The pine forest of royal tombs, kept since 1495 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009. Check opening hours and closing days before you go.

Lobby salad café
Back from the forest, breakfast in a lobby full of green. You could eat in the room — come down anyway.
Daytime
The forest of towers
Teheran-ro
Gangnam's avenue of glass towers. Get off at Samseong Station and walk 7 minutes: the forest comes towards you between the buildings.

Starfield Library, COEX
Shelves that rise to the ceiling in the middle of COEX Mall, connected to Samseong Station. An indoor view worth walking to on a rainy day.

Evening
Another old forest
Bongeunsa Temple
Across from COEX, a temple founded in 794. A good place to watch the sun go down in the middle of the forest of towers.
