Lee Dorim
This cafe is already unique as it is. They feature Bloot Coffee which is made to specifically suit Korean tastes and Vake, a top vegan bakery in Seoul. But this cafe is also known as ‘King Sejong's birthplace’. Located a walking distance away from Gyeongbokgung Palace, Lee Dorim symbolises the King's reign through many aspects.
During his time, a beautiful stream led its way through mountains and water. Lee Dorim Cafe replicates this with a huge rock mountain, covered in natural moss installed between the first and second floor.
Walk your way up to the second floor, and immerse yourself in Lee Dorim’s “Time Loop”, which symbolically takes you through King Sejong’s life journey. Each section of this circular structure represents the four seasons, each one showing the progression from the dark ages before King Sejong's birth to the peaceful and prosperous era of his reign.
Don’t forget to head to the top floor! A scene that will leave you breathless. Immerse yourself in the modern architecture combined with the beautiful mountain afar!
Eero Cafe
Amongst the busy city life of Gangnam, enter Eero Cafe where you’ll find peace and tranquillity. Haetae, a mystical animal from East Asia that symbolises justice takes over the theme here!
As soon as you enter, you’ll spot a chandelier-like build that instantly catches your attention! This structure actually rotates and looks different at all angles, depending on the sunlight! For a totally different atmosphere, head to the basement to see the cosiness of rain ☔️
With so many interior features to mention, there’s another beautiful element to the cafe - the menu! Each item is an art-piece in itself; too delicate and pretty to eat! Not only that, the menu items all inspired by Korean flavours; unique grain-based drinks and desserts thats highly reviewed by all visitors.
Inspire Resort
Unlike the other two cafes, Inspire Resort is a huge complex with three buildings, each one offering a totally different concept. The resort features Korea’s first - 15,000 seat performance arena, an indoor water park and even a banquet hall!
But that’s not it! There’s an outdoor entertainment park, Korea’s largest casino and even a 150m street lit with LED decor. You can also treat this resort as a shopping mall with different brands and dining locations across the three buildings!
