Sun Cruise Resort & Yacht is a hotel resort in Jeongdongjin on the east coast of South Korea. Designed in the image of a cruise ship, the hotel is 165 metres (541 ft) long and 45 metres (148 ft) tall and overlooks the beach resort.[1][2] It is believed to be the first of its kind in the world.
Built at the top of a large cliff, the hotel looks out over the sea[2][3] and gives the impression that a cruise ship has run aground. The town of Jeongdongjin is known for its views of the sunrise and sunset over the Sea of Japan (East Sea) and is itself a tourist destination. This has been further enhanced by the construction of the hotel, with its unusual design making it one of the most popular attractions in the country.[1][2][3]
The hotel has 211 rooms, including bedrooms and apartments, and six function rooms. There are six restaurants serving Korean and European food and a rotating bar on the top floor, giving visitors a panoramic view of the horizon and the famed sunrises.[1][2][3] Sporting facilities include a netted golf range, volleyball court, and a fitness club.[4] The cruise ship theme is enhanced by the sound of crashing waves played on speakers throughout the hotel and the use of salt water in the swimming pool.[1][4]
The resort also contains a park located adjacent to the hotel.[1] Prominent within the landscaped gardens are "The Hands of Promise", two giant hands rising from the ground, along with a variety of other sculptures. There is also an observation area with a glass floor suspended above the sea, an exhibition hall, and a lake
