The Deluxe Family Suite is perfect for families wanting to unwind together, with a spectacular view of the mountains to boot. We love the Junior Maple Ondol Suite, furnished with Korean-style elegance and heated floors to keep you extra cosy. Take advantage of access to a private garden, soaking up your surroundings as much as possible.

Why we like it

Exuding luxury at every turn, our favourite spot at the Hilton Gyeongju is the outdoor pool, complete with private cabanas to lounge in and a water playground for the little ones. That’s after a spot of lunch at in-house Genji, with views of the Japanese Garden. Or for a more intimate affair, choose the tempting Silkroad with its Cantonese and Sichuan delights.
