Gwanghui-dong

Seoul

I didn't go inside the plaza, but was intrigued by this giant silver jelly bean of a building.
The Dongdaemun Design Plaza, also called the DDP, is a major urban development landmark in Seoul, South Korea designed by Zaha Hadid and Samoo.

Room is clean but not a 5 star experience. Amenities are limited and it didn’t feel luxurious staying here. The property however is just a short walk to the subway station and is convenient to other popular areas in Seoul.
