After two seasons’ worth of sizzle, Single’s Inferno continues to leave some smoke in its wake—at least, for its viewers who still can’t stop talking about it.
But of course, it isn’t without reason. The Netflix Korean dating series served up a platter of compelling personalities and budding chemistry, all while stranded on an island dubbed “Inferno.” For the 12 Korean contestants vying for love, the escape route is a private date in a place called “Paradise,” where they can romance to their hearts’ desires.
With several scenes of the show luring its singletons and viewers to this so-called Paradise, we got to digging. Scroll on for what you need to know about the Single’s Inferno endgame destination, a.k.a. Incheon’s Paradise City hotel.
What is Paradise City?
South Korea’s answer to Las Vegas is Paradise City, an “art-tainment” resort completed in 2019. While it’s located right by Incheon International Airport, it isn’t the typical fly-by travel hotel—Paradise boasts of three million square feet packed with luxurious feats.
The location pulled in not just several Korean celebrities and the Single’s Inferno cast, but fictional upper-crusters as well, having been featured in K-dramas including The Penthouse, Her Private Life, Sky Castle, and What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim. With 711 rooms, seven restaurants, an indoor theme park, and well-known art lining its halls, the hotel has become an A-lister favorite—but with a hefty price tag!
How much does it cost to stay per night?
Rates for each hotel room vary depending on peak times and availability, but based on Booking.com, a one-night stay can go as low as P12,400. But for a peek at its usual price tags, we rifled through the available dates in mid-February below:
1. Deluxe Double Room and Deluxe Twin Room - P18,417
The 45 square-meter space holds a sofa, a private bathroom with a bathtub, and an option of a large double bed or two double beds.
2. Premier Deluxe Double and Premier Deluxe Twin - P20,841
Offering more space with 54 square meters, the premier edition comes with a private bathroom and a coffee machine with similar bedding options.

With 60 square meters, guests can enjoy a stay for a night or more with its large or twin beds, flat-screen TV, comfortable soundproofing, and more.

This suite’s temporary residents can bask in the views of Incheon and Seoul with its wide windows, alongside ample room with 68 square meters.
5. Deluxe Suite and Deluxe King Suite - P31,503
Fancy living like royalty? While more compact than the previous suite with its 45-square meter space, the hotel’s deluxe spaces offer several room facilities and full access to the hotel’s world-class service.
6. Deluxe Pool Villa and Grand Deluxe Pool Villa - approximately P880,000
But for those seeking the picture-perfect Single’s Inferno experience, potential guests will have to shell out a reported amount of 20 million Korean won (approximately P880,000) a night. The lavish stay at the Deluxe Pool Villa and Grand Deluxe Pool Villa will grant their visitors access to a private pool, a living room with an 86-inch flat screen TV, five bath amenities, and more luxurious options in their multiple rooms.
Aside from the lucky lovers of Single's Inferno, the villa has been spotted as a backdrop for K-dramas like the Lee Min Ho-starring The King: Eternal Monarch, and also housed K-pop idols like BLACKPINK’s Rosé and BTS members V and Jung Kook!
What are their amenities and facilities?
1. Fine dining restaurants
The Paradise hotel is home to seven gourmet-ready restaurants, including the Chinese fine dining restaurant and Michelin star-awarded Imperial Treasure. Their must-try dish? The signature crispy yet sugary Peking Duck!
Guests won’t run out of choices as the vast hotel serves up classic dishes across the globe. Taste a course or more of Italian at La Scala, contemporary Japanese at Raku, modern Korean at Serasé, and the last gastronomic trends in Europe, New York, and Shanghai at On the Plate. For those who prefer their dishes with a side of smooth tunes, the music lounge Rubik stages live jazz performances by local and international artists. Meanwhile, casino members can also dip into the dishes of the ultra-exclusive The Emperor.
2. Indoor pool, outdoor pool, sauna, and spa
What’s a five-star hotel experience without a dip into the waters? In Paradise, there’s a few choices: the guest-only indoor pool, which has breathtaking views of Yeongjong Island through panoramic windows, and the outdoor pool, strategically located between the hotel’s must-see spots.
Guests can also take their much R&R at the hotel’s serviced indoor sauna complete with a Jacuzzi. But for a full rejuvenating session, they can head over to The Spa at Paradise, a clinic popular for its speciality in cosmetic procedures for anti-aging and hair loss.
3. Indoor theme park, entertainment hub, and kids zone
A must-see spot visitors flock to is Wonderbox, an indoor theme park that takes its cues from nighttime fairs. The carnival-inspired location houses impressive attractions like the pedal gondola Magic Bike ride, and performances like the Luna Carnival and Masquerade show. Fun fact: It has also been featured in Hotel Del Luna!
The arcade games don’t stop there, however, with Paradise’s designated entertainment hub Safari Park, featuring a bowling zone and the Play Lab, an arcade spot for SEGA video games. Younger kids can also wander around Paradise’s Earth-themed educational playground, a space meant to stimulate the senses and their imagination.
4. Shopping plaza and night club
And if their to-do list isn’t filled to the brim just yet, guests’ itinerary might still need a stop at the shopping plaza, home to K-beauty and fashion brands. Once evening falls, the hotel once came alive at Chroma, a bustling nightclub with a packed roster of well-known DJs. However, due to COVID-19 protocols, the club has been closed until further notice.
Where is it located?
Paradise City Hotel and Resort is located at 186, Yeongjonghaeannam-ro 321-gil, Jung-gu, Incheon, South Korea. It’s a five-minute train ride from Incheon Airport using the Maglev line, but for those willing to walk, it will take them about 15 minutes tops to get to the hotel.
