ZANZAN: a home to come back to after the beach

Another night in Gangneung is an excuse to choose a room you want to come back to. In ZANZAN’s photographs, blue chairs and door frames pick out the bright interior. It is easy to picture a quieter end to the day here: a seat at the table and tomorrow’s plans still open.

Come back to a neighbourhood

ZANZAN occupies a renovated older house in Ponam-dong. When comparing accommodation, look beyond the distance to the beach. Map your dinner options and your next morning’s first stop too. This is a candidate for a trip that brings you back into town after a day by the sea.

A foot soak or a bath

The listing describes a balcony footbath in Zan 1 and an indoor bathtub in Zan 2. The two rooms offer different ways to unwind, so compare the room photographs after deciding who is travelling and which space you would actually use.

Leave tomorrow partly unplanned

Choose one thing for the morning: tofu in Chodang or coffee at Anmok. You can give yourself time in the room and still fit another Gangneung meal into the trip. Check transport using your booked accommodation and the specific café or restaurant you choose.
