THE Ryse Hotel is truly at home in Seoul’s vibrant Hongdae district in which it is intimately connected with the cultural liveliness of its surroun-dings. Taking inspiration from indepen-dent music venues, design studios and street culture, creativity has been infused into every aspect of the hotel. A proud member of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, the Ryse Hotel is unique in design and thoughtful in spirit.

Designed by London-based Michaelis Boyd, the 274-room property has a striking visual aesthetic, combining British refinement with the candy-coloured neon lights that ripple through Seoul: velvet curtains and plush rugs collide with glossy pink floors, geometric sofas, and hanging sculptures.Created and curated with creatives, nomads, tastemakers and fans of cultural expression in mind, the property has a room for every type of guest.
While the Creator, Editor and Director Rooms are designed to refresh and inspire guests, the Producer and Artist Suites upend perspectives by offering a refined outlook on creativity and indulgent hospitality. Perhaps the most impressive, however, is the Executive Producer Suite. Sitting proudly on top of the hotel, the pent-house suite boasts breath-taking views of the city.Kitted out with a vinyl collection, DJ table and well-stocked bar, the gallery-styled space is the ultimate party pad. The Ryse also has spaces in which guests can meet and relax.
Straight out of San Francisco, Tartine is a globally acclaimed bakery serving quality baked goods and freshly brewed coffee throughout the day. Enjoy a sweet treat with new friends in the hotel’s lobby, where you can share ideas with fellow creatives. Meanwhile, the Side Note Club on the hotel’s sleek rooftop lounge is the perfect place to sit back and relax with a tipple or two; all while you take in the captivating urban view.
The Ryse Hotel’s unforgettable visual aesthetic will most definitely leave a vivid imprint. And who knows, it may well inspire your next creative project
