At first glance, Gyeongwonjae Ambassador may appear somewhat out of place: A classical hanok hotel nestled amidst a forest of cutting-edge skyscrapers. However, this juxtaposition aligns perfectly with its concept, “a walk through time on the Korean peninsula." This unique blend of tradition and modernity has earned Gyeongwonjae not only the distinction of being the first five-star hanok hotel in Korea but also the prestigious “Stars of Korean Tourism" award from the Korea Tourism Organization. Remarkably, it has achieved this claim despite lacking many contemporary hotel amenities such as swimming pools, saunas, and bars.
A stay at Gyeongwonjae offers a unique experience that can only be found in a hanok, a space that encapsulates Korean traditions. The single-story building, with its low eaves and absence of flamboyant dancheong (decorative coloring), exemplifies the aesthetic of unadorned humility that characterizes Korean culture. It harmoniously blends into the surrounding nature. Guests can partake in a traditional tea ceremony followed by a rejuvenating soak in a cypress bathtub filled with water infused with traditional Korean medicinal materials, clearing the mind of clutter and promoting natural healing.

Reaching 632.2 meters in x_height, Gwanaksan Mountain is the symbol and pride of Gwanak-gu district in Seoul. Most of the cultural heritage of the district originates from Gwanaksan Mountain. Since it was designated as a city natural park in 1968, it has continued to serve as a favorite place for relaxation and excursion for Seoul citizens. The various rocky peaks and the deep valleys give the mountain a rugged feel. The mountain's size and close proximity to Seoul make it easy for Seoul residents to make a day trip.

In the spring, cherry blossoms are in full bloom near the entrance to the mountain, and a Rhododendron Festival is held when the rhododendrons are in full bloom. At the mountain's summit are Wongaksa Temple and Yeonjuam Hermitage, which were built by Taejo Yi Seong-gye (the founder of the Joseon dynasty) to ward off misfortune when he decided to move the capital to Seoul. There are also other temples and hermitages, and a ground radar observation post. Yeonjudae Hermitage, located atop a cliff, is where all the hiking trails of Gwanaksan Mountain meet.
