South Korea, Busan
Grand Josun Busan
(5 stars)Set across 16 storeys, this sleek five-star hotel blends classic vintage-inspired elegance, with contemporary design. Herringbone floored bedrooms have front-row views of the ocean (so much so, you may feel like you’ve set sail on a cruise ship). Guests can frolic on the adjacent beach, take a dip in the serene indoor pool, dine in the slick Chinese buffet restaurant and tuck into fresh seafood at the beachside grill. There’s a chic bar reminiscent of The Ivy and a deli for Korean sweet treats and handmade patisserie.
