How Much It Costs to Stay at the Hanok Heritage Hotel, As Seen in "Perfect Crown"

In Perfect Crown, some of the series’ most visually expansive scenes unfold inside a hanok estate used for large gatherings, including the king's birthday banquet in episode one. The location is The Hanok Heritage Hotel in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province, a large-scale property that opened to the public after initially operating as a more private retreat.

On screen, it appears as a continuous architectural space shaped by courtyards, long corridors, and open views of the surrounding landscape. The actual property spans a wide natural site where villas and rooms are arranged to follow the terrain and river lines around it.

The Hanok Heritage Hotel is designed as a contemporary interpretation of hanok architecture, grounded in traditional Korean spatial principles. According to reports by The Korea Times, the project draws inspiration from the main hall of Jongmyo Shrine and describes itself as “a contemporary expression of Korean heritage,” with structures designed around seasonal light and the surrounding landscape.

Architect Chung Il Cho, in interviews with Korea JoongAng Daily, described the project as the result of long-term research that connects traditional architecture with modern building methods. He said, “I believe in analog. Digital is nothing but fake,” and added on the website, “Hanok embodies harmony between nature and humanity.”

Stays at The Hanok Heritage Hotel are priced in the upper tier of luxury hospitality, with rates shifting depending on room type, size, and weekend demand. Based on mid-August 2026 weekday figures, rooms generally start in the high hundreds and can go well above $1,000 (approx. P61,600) per night.

Rates: $1,795.81 (approx. P110,693) per night on weekdays, rising to around $2334.55 (P143,896) on weekends

This suite is the most spacious category, with large windows that open toward the surrounding landscape. It includes a living room, tea room, marble bathtub, and multiple interior zones, spanning about 91.20 square meters.

Rates: $848.02 (approx. P52,269) per night, or roughly $1102.43 (approx. P67,950) on weekends.

Positioned around a courtyard view, this room focuses on quieter interior flow, with a bedroom, tea space, and bathing area within 45.60 square meters.

Rates: Around $897.90 (approx. P55,344) per night 

These rooms are placed closer to forested areas, with terraces and layouts that emphasize outdoor adjacency and natural light.

Rates: Between about $798.14 (approx. P49,195) and $897.90 (P55,344) per night

These categories sit on the more accessible end of the property’s range, with courtyard or stone wall views and similar core amenities.

Most stays include breakfast, welcome tea, and minibar access, with select categories adding in-room cultural services.

Alongside the hotel sits The Hanok Heritage House, a villa-style extension of the same project that operates on a much larger and more private scale.

The broader estate covers roughly 337,190 square meters and was first introduced as a members-only retreat before expanding to welcome general guests. It has since grown into a collection of standalone residences designed for longer stays and group use.

Each villa is structured as a standalone home with its own circulation, outdoor areas, and wellness facilities.

Rates: Around $7316.26 (approx. P451,007) per night

This villa is structured like a multi-level residence with separate sleeping wings connected by internal corridors.

The layout includes bedrooms, living and dining areas, a sauna, and a private outdoor pool. Upper floors feature additional bedrooms and traditional-style bathing spaces, including hinoki cypress tubs.

A key feature is its spatial separation. Rooms are independent, but linked through shared circulation areas that allow movement between private and communal zones.

Rates: Around $7316.26 (approx. P451,007) per night

This villa is positioned to take in wider landscape views, including sightlines toward the Seondol Scenic Site.

Inside, it follows a similar structure to Building 1, but with added emphasis on openness toward the exterior. It also includes a multimedia room intended for reading, music, or quiet indoor time, along with courtyards and a private pool.

Rates: Around $7981.38 (approx. P492,143) per night

Seondoljeong is the most expansive residence in the complex, designed as a self-contained estate.

It includes multiple bedrooms, indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, and large communal spaces. One of its defining features is a water garden positioned to frame the surrounding landscape, along with a dedicated performance hall for cultural programming.

The Hanok Heritage is located at 37-150 Mungaesil-gil, Nam-myeon, Yeongwol-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea. For more information, visit its website.
