A good hotel is something you should check into early and enjoy, but our schedule was so packed that last night we only got in after dark. After breakfast I lazed around in the room for a while, then took a quick look around the hotel just before we set off.
The hotel’s decor
The hotel building itself is like a work of art.
The hotel’s decor
This is about the middle of the hotel. Pretty striking. I did wonder how they look after the grass in the center.
A small garden
It feels Jeju-style and Japanese at the same time. Maybe that is because the architect was Japanese (a Korean-Japanese, to be exact).
A gap
They say always leaving space open is this hotel’s concept.
A flower that opened this morning
The focus is off, but anyway..
Chairs on the veranda
I’d love to hang around the hotel a bit longer, but we were in a rush, sadly.
A view of the garden
If I’d had more time, I would have loved to sit and have a cup of tea looking out over the garden..
A view of the restaurant
Spacious and luxurious. Breakfast time is over, so it’s quiet.
The driving range, with the mountains in the distance
I can see why so many people come all the way to Jeju Island to play golf.
The Podo Hotel seen from outside
It isn’t all that big, but it’s cozy and luxurious. I really love this concept.
The sign
It hangs at the main gate.
A shot of the front
It’s a shame, but we’re off in a moment.
