Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Cimer Spa is a world-class fusion of European bathhouse and Korean jjimjilbang
- The 'Art-tainment' concept means walking past genuine Damien Hirst and Yayoi Kusama pieces in the lobby
- Free minibar refilled daily with beer, sodas, and cookies
Snel Overzicht: It's a dazzling, air-conditioned bubble of luxury that feels like Las Vegas and Seoul had a baby, but don't expect to see the 'real' Korea unless you take a taxi out.
Beoordeeld door @realestatebyaudrey: I stayed here for a girls' weekend and it was honestly perfect. The personalized welcome message on the TV made us feel so special, and the room was huge enough for all four of us to hang out comfortably. The night view was the cherry on top.

Reality check
The 'once per night' pool rule infuriates parents who want a morning and afternoon dip, and on-site dining prices (especially the buffet) are eye-watering.
- You have a long layover at Incheon and want to decompress in luxury
- You are a K-pop/K-drama fan wanting to see famous filming locations (Hotel Del Luna, etc.)
- You love spa days and want to spend 6 hours rotating between saunas and infinity pools
