Chronicles of Busan
Busan, South Korea's second-largest city, was founded in 1878 as a small fishing village, and its early growth was driven by its strategic port location. The city's modern architecture is a blend of traditional Korean motifs and modern skyscrapers, with the iconic Busan Tower being a prominent landmark. Busan has a rich cultural identity shaped by its history as a major trading hub and its coastal location, with a unique blend of Asian and Western influences. The city hosts the annual Busan International Film Festival, which has helped establish it as a major cultural centre. Busan's vibrant markets, such as the Jagalchi Fish Market, showcase the city's love of fresh seafood and bustling commerce.
Best Time to Visit
Full Busan guide →Best months
June and September are the best months to visit Busan, with warm weather (average highs around 26°C/79°F) and manageable crowds. The summer months are great for beach activities, while the autumn foliage in September is particularly stunning.
Peak / festival surge
August is peak tourist season, with the Busan International Fireworks Festival drawing large crowds. This means higher hotel prices and longer queues, but it's worth it for the spectacular fireworks display.

Budget shoulder season
April and May are great shoulder months, with mild weather (average highs around 18°C/64°F) and lower prices. You can still enjoy the city's attractions without the crowds, and take advantage of discounts on accommodation and tourist activities.
Weather & packing

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to No. 25, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request

Rooms to avoid

Best views
Given the hotel's address, you can expect views of the city or the sea, depending on the room's orientation. Ask for a room on a higher floor (above 10th) for a clearer view of the ocean.
Quietest floors
