Why guests love itTraditional architecture drew a retired couple to the Nostalgia Hanok Hotel, a short walk from the old palaces. Their days followed a gentle pattern: palace visits in the cooler morning, a rest, then late afternoon on the rooftop terrace with coffee from the on-site shop, looking out over the garden. The hot tub eased tired legs before bed. The terrace faces greenery rather than a skyline, which they preferred, though view chasers may not.
