About this property
Sosodang Hanok Heritage House in Bukchon Hanok villege
Stay at the iconic first house you see when searching Bukchon Hanok Village—a world-famous landmark and the winner of the 2009 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award. This historic location was also featured in K-Pop Demon Hunters.
Sosodang Bookchon combines the original architectural beauty of a traditional Korean hanok with modern comforts for a unique stay in the heart of Seoul.
Bukchon was once the residential district of royalty and aristocrats during the Joseon Dynasty. The hanok neighborhood was thoughtfully developed by Jeong Se-gwon, Korea’s first real-estate developer and a key supporter of the independence movement. He was later honored with a national order of merit for his contributions.
This preserved historic hanok offers:
Traditional Korean architectural design
Modern amenities for a comfortable stay
A peaceful setting in one of Seoul’s most photographed cultural heritage sites
The name “Book” reflects the spirit of scholars who valued books and knowledge—bringing history, culture, and relaxation into one unique space.
Experience authentic Korean culture and modern living at Sosodang Bookchon.
