The hotel has a total of five floor-to-ceiling windows on the living room walls and ceiling, as well as in the bedroom, allowing guests to enjoy views of the Han River from any space.
The usage fee is expected to be set between 340,000 and 500,000 KRW. Reservations can be made through Airbnb.
On the opening day, July 16, the city will hold a 'free stay event' allowing guests to spend one night at the viewing hotel free of charge.
