Well, actually, I'm not sure if you should go there in skiing season either. Once upon a time, I'm sure that the Phoenix Hotel & Condo was the best that Korea had to offer. It has the all signs of being a luxury hotel at the top of the scale. But unfortunately, the hotel has not been well maintained and... More

The hotel is famous for it's winter skiing. The back part of hotel is facing the ski slopes while the other is facing the mountains. Weather is cooling during spring.

After spending a week there in February 2010, I did not get any idea about the real category of the Phoenix Park Hotel (Address: Bokwang Phoenixpark Co. Ltd, 1095 Myeonon-ri, Bongpheong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, Korea, www.phoenixpark.co.kr). Although at the first sight, it looked as a near 4-star accommodation, I realized that it does not have an ordinary swimming pool that I,... More
