About

Hotel The Botanik Sewoon Myeongdong

Hotel The Botanik Sewoon Myeongdong sits in Jung-gu, a 450-metre walk from the Alive Museum Insadong. The hotel's leafy name carries through to its facilities: a garden area, terrace, and leisure room give it a softer feel than the typical downtown high-rise.

Rooms are rated 9.2 by guests, and the service follows closely at 9.1. The hotel runs a 24-hour front desk, offers private parking on site, and includes extras like a fitness centre, billiard tables, and a bar. It's a practical base for exploring both the traditional lanes of Insadong and the shopping streets of Myeongdong.
