It's a short stroll away from the bustling Myeongdong neighbourhood.

With a distinguished portfolio including L'Hotel Paris, Hotel Costes in Paris, and The NoMad Hotel in New York, Garcia delicately infuses the essence of a French château into every aspect of this boutique hotel. With its antique-inspired furnishings, exquisite floral arrangements, rich colours, and artwork, L'Escape Hotel is truly a work of art.
