It's official: Korea's 50 most unique hotels

Tue, 02/21/2012 - 11:00 — Anonymous by CNNGo staff Never mind expensive
weekend packages at Seoul's luxury hotels. Korea's more unique
accommodations tend to be much more visually interesting -- and not just a
little campy.  Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) announced the publication of
"Korea's most unique accommodations" on Monday. Travel writers and
reporters, as well as high-profile foreign visitors contributed to the
selection of the 50 venues. While the 115-page photograph-filled book will
not be for sale and mostly distributed to the 26 international branches of
KTO, the organization is planning to make it available in an e-book format on
the official Visit Korea website later this month.  The roundup includes
lesser known accommodation options such as the Phoenix Island resort, which
features beautiful glass venues designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, as
well as the recently renovated hanok hotel Kundaemunjip (큰대문집) in
Seoul. read more
