Gwangju Hotel & Travel Guide
Travelers dreaming about exploring Gwangju, are advised to book early, as there's not a huge range of accommodation options close to the town center.
The Park Hyatt Seoul, South Korea, which is the closest Travelocity-listed accommodation option, can be found 15 miles (24 kilometers) from the heart of Gwangju. But, why not think about the Oakwood Premier Coex Center, located in South Korea, which is 15 miles (25 kilometers) from the heart of the city.
The W Seoul Walkerhill is about 15 miles (24 kilometers) outside the heart of Gwangju. An alternative accommodation option is the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas, which is situated 15 miles (24 kilometers) away. You could also make a booking at the InterContinental Seoul COEX or the The Classic 500 Pentaz Executive Residence.
After you've explored Gwangju, you could set out to unveil more of the Gyeonggi area. If you're a nature lover, be sure to explore Gyeonggi's beaches. You should also spend time at a few of the area's traditional villages and old towns. Visitors and locals alike in this region of South Korea enjoy snowboarding, skiing and cross-country skiing.
Still looking for things to do? Consider spending some time discovering Hwaseong Fortress and Yongjusa Temple, which can be found in Suwon, 18 miles (28 kilometers) southwest of Gwangju. The Hotel Cats Suwon and Ramada Plaza Suwon are just some of the Travelocity-recommended short and long-stay alternatives in Suwon. For another option, head to Cheongpyeong, 25 miles (38 kilometers) to the north of Gwangju, where you can pick from the Kensington Resort Cheongpyeong and Over The Mountain. If you visit Cheongpyeong, make sure you venture to the Sudong National Tourist Park and Mongolia Culture Town.
Simply because you and your family are taking a break from your usual habits, doesn't have to mean that you can't fuel your obsession for a day watching sport. Find Seoul World Cup Stadium 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the northwest of Gwangju. Anyone hoping to find a bed close to the action can explore the Conrad Seoul or the Grand Hilton Seoul.
Gimpo International Airport is a convenient gateway for air travel, and is located 30 miles (47 kilometers) from downtown Gwangju. Travelocity-listed hotels close to Gimpo International Airport are Lotte City Hotel Gimpo Airport and Mayfield Hotel & Resort.
