The existing structure on the bridge, which was used as a cafe, has been refurbished to become a 144 square-meter suite that includes a bedroom, living room and bathroom, and can host up to four guests. The hotel boasts multiple panoramic windows — from the bedroom, the living room and the bathroom — offering breathtaking views of the Han River and the city from every room.
