[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Hanwha Hotels & Resorts announced on the 1st that it will open the surfing & healing concept hotel 'Breathe By MATI?' in Yangyang, Gangwon Province.

Breathe Hotel is located between Jukdo Beach and Ingu Beach in Ingu-ri, Hyeonnam-myeon, Yangyang-gun, the gateway from Seoul to Gangwon Province. Using the Seoul-Yangyang Expressway, it is possible to reach within 2 hours by car from the Seoul metropolitan area. The hotel has a total floor area of 9,238.54㎡ (approximately 2,794.66 pyeong), with 2 basement floors and 7 above-ground floors, and a total of 56 rooms.

'Breathe' means to take a breath, symbolizing a moment to step away from the busy urban daily life and add a small pause to life. Based on this, the hotel plans to offer customized services optimized for customers' preferences and relaxation journeys. Located in Yangyang, the mecca of surfing, it will also operate various marine sports content in the future.

The hotel rooms are composed of a total of 7 types, including Laid-back rooms for family guests to heal, Rise-up rooms applying surfing culture, and the exclusive penthouse Hang Ten on the top floor (7th floor) of the hotel. The accommodation capacity ranges from 4 to 8 people to accommodate various group sizes. The room names incorporate surfing terms to match the surfing & healing concept pursued by Breathe Hotel. The interior, concept, and size vary according to the number of guests and purpose.

Breathe Hotel is also equipped with various facilities such as a restaurant, surfing shop, sauna, spa, and outdoor plaza. It has installed the first Porsche electric vehicle charging facility in the Gangwon region. The surfing shop 'Surf Code' will be opened, selling various clothing and accessories. At the famous Poi Poo restaurant in the Gangneung area, guests can enjoy signature dishes such as salad bowls, Hawaiian-style bibimbap, handmade hamburgers, and barbecue. The spa for relaxation after surfing offers special care services for the scalp, face, and whole body at reasonable prices.

Meanwhile, to commemorate the opening of Breathe Hotel, 700 customers who search for 'Yangyang Breathe Hotel' on the Naver portal site search bar will be selected by lottery to receive gifts such as weekday stay vouchers for the penthouse, weekday stay vouchers for the Laid-back rooms, and Starbucks Americano coupons. The event runs until the end of August, and detailed participation methods can be found on Breathe Hotel's official SNS channels and the Hanwha Resort website.

Moon Seok, CEO of Hanwha Hotels & Resorts, said, "We launched the unprecedented surfing & healing concept Breathe Hotel to provide customers not only rest but also diverse and unique experiences." He added, "We hope guests enjoy special rest, new experiences, various local foods, and marine activities to the fullest at the stylish Breathe Hotel reflecting young trends."
