Morning at the Podo Hotel on Jeju Island

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.

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.

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.
