IP Boutique Hotel

In stark contrast with its rather gritty surroundings, this colorful, geometrically patterned boutique hotel evokes a Piet Mondrian painting.

Sleek, white walls contrast with post-modernist pop art and brightly colored furniture, and the simple cleanliness is very stylish.

At night, the building's glowing facade beckons patrons to enjoy the Seoul nightlife, and new hotspot Club Rococo is conveniently located within.

The hotel is in the middle of the Itaewon District, a formerly sketchy area that has become known for its eclectic array of international cuisines.

It is also relatively accessible to other prime tourist sites north of the Han River in Seoul.
