This boutique hotel even has an outpost of our favourite San Francisco bakery, Tartine.

Millennial-pink resin floors and a minimal granite and black palette are among the reasons that this hotel, part of The Marriott Autograph Collection, features in the architecturally discerning <Wallpaper*> travel guides. It’s right in the middle of the creative Hongdae district, where some of the best bookshops, cafes and bars can be found. But if you’d rather stay in, head up to the 15th floor to the hotel’s Side Note Club, which boasts an eclectic and impressive record collection and is a hip hangout for the city’s artistic crowd.
