🏨 Rakkojae

Rakkojae is a South Korean cultural center located in the Bukchon Hanok Village of Jongno-gu, Seoul, established with the purpose for foreign visitors to experience Korean culture in a hanok (한옥) or Korean traditional house. It began operations as a traditional hotel in 2003, a year after the 2002 FIFA World Cup held by South Korea and Japan. Rakkojae was the first instance where a hanok was re-purposed for use as a hotel.
