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

by CNNGo staff

Never mind expensive weekend packages at Seoul’s luxury hotels.

Korea’s alternative 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.
