Gangneung Seamarq Hotel & World Liquor Mart – A perfect blend of relaxation and shopping.

A trip to Gangneung is always a good idea, but this time, I planned something a bit special by combining Seamarq Hotel and World Liquor Mart into my itinerary. First, Seamarq Hotel. As soon as I entered the room, the East Sea stretched out right below the window, offering a truly picturesque view. Swimming in the infinity pool while gazing at the ocean felt so magical that I wished time could stop. In the morning, I enjoyed the hotel breakfast while basking in the sunlight and the ocean view, which was healing in itself. The hotel is so spacious and full of charm that even a whole day feels too short to explore its relaxing and aesthetic spaces. Then, I headed to downtown Gangneung to visit the 'World Liquor Mart.' True to its name, it had an impressive collection of liquors from all over the world. Some products even offered tastings, making it fun to browse and explore. I enjoyed discovering unique liquors, beers, and wines that are hard to find elsewhere, and indulged in some shopping. Gangneung is always a place of natural beauty, but this time, combining a charming accommodation with a unique mart made the trip even more memorable. 📍 Seamarq Hotel: 406 Haean-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do 📍 World Liquor Mart: 123-7 Okcheon-dong, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do
