Located in Seo-myeon, Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do, U Retreat is a luxurious villa-type accommodation. “U” in its name not only signifies “you” but also the shape of nature embracing humans; “Retreat” convinces you to care for yourself, escaping from your daily routines. The building of the accommodation, a structure composed with simple straight lines, has received a number of awards in architecture, including the Presidential Award of Korea Architecture Award. The philosophy of the architect that pursues the coexistence with nature can be read through the exterior built with high-strength concrete and glass and the design of space using the floor-level difference.
Enveloped with grand nature of Hongcheon, the accommodation has only nine rooms on an area of 9,900 m², letting guests enjoy cozy rest. Every room has an indoor tepid water pool or a separate spa using bedrock groundwater spa. The water in the pool is 30-32oC and that in the spa 38-40oC all year round, warm even in midwinter. Each room has a large window showing mountains of Hongcheon stretched that makes you feel refreshed, and the full latex mattress and the highest grad goose down bedding will guarantee your tight sleep.
The accommodation also has flawless facilities, including the INFINITY POOL with natural bedrock groundwater from 130 meters underground, the barbecue that makes your travel lively, and a cafe that sells coffee and wine. |
