Finishes

The stay Hwangi is a hanok (korea traditional villa) located in the city center of Gyodong, Gangneung.

We create a space that not only refreshes you like the wind in daily life but also warms up your heart. The stay Hwangi is the place to clear your mind to fill with new things that make your life sparkling.

With the sound of the wind and sunshine,
With the sound of the stones and trees,
With the sound of the season hanging in the eaves.
In a cozy bed, take enough rest and calmly continue the day,
Follow the movement of time through the big window.
Then you can completely relax with Hwangi’s signature tea.

The place where we expect to rest with satisfaction is neither just a neat space nor with well-designed customer service. We are not trying to make you feel nostalgic or bring back any memories with images of traditional houses that would often appear on commercial websites. Rather, Stay ‘Hwangi’ wanted to share the freedom that only natural spaces could give, the emotional margin that has not been artificially filled in.

We wanted to share the heart filled moment of comfort. ‘Hwangi’ is like a wind blowing in a gap in daily life. Like a ray of sunshine that fills your heart with warmth, so that your body and mind can be filled with positive energy.

The place to remove negative thoughts and cleanse your soul. Through the wind and sunlight, rocks and trees, and the sound of the season at the end of the eaves, empty your mind and connect with nature. Hope you enjoy the refreshing time at Stay ‘Hwangi’.
