Parnas Hotel & Resort to Open 'Inscape Yangyang' in December… Tallest Hotel in Gangwon Province

91% of Rooms are Suites
Aiming to Become a “Destination Hotel” Connecting Naksan Beach and Naksansa Temple

Parnas Hotel & Resort announced on September 9 that it will open “INSCAPE YANGYANG by PARNAS” in Yangyang, Gangwon Province in December 2026.

INSCAPE YANGYANG by PARNAS is a landmark hotel in Gangwon Province, standing 39 stories tall and reaching a height of 174.6 meters, making it the tallest structure in the region. Of the 393 total rooms, 358—approximately 91%—are configured as suites, and over 90% of the rooms are designed to offer views of the East Sea. The hotel also offers a variety of room types, including 118 two-bedroom suites tailored for families and small group guests.

Located directly in front of Naksan Beach, the hotel offers guests both the natural beauty of the East Sea and easy access to Naksansa Temple, a key cultural heritage site of Yangyang. In recent years, Yangyang has evolved into a major tourist destination, blending surfing, leisure, and gourmet experiences with its spectacular natural settings like the East Sea and Seoraksan Mountain. According to tourism data from Yangyang County, approximately 29.13 million visitors traveled to Yangyang last year, marking a 45% increase compared to the previous year. As tourism demand continues to rise and high-end accommodations remain relatively scarce, the opening of this hotel is expected to boost Yangyang’s premium stay market.

INSCAPE YANGYANG by PARNAS operates under the slogan “Beyond the Stay—A Journey in Itself” and positions itself as a “destination hotel” that connects nature, gourmet dining, wellness, and culture into a unified travel experience. Its circular structure and open spaces oriented toward the sea allow guests to enjoy panoramic views of the East Sea from both their rooms and common areas. The design, inspired by the movement of waves and the ocean, embodies the natural beauty of Yangyang throughout the space.

The hotel’s signature facility is its 16th-floor infinity pool, which creates the illusion of merging with the East Sea horizon. Guests will also have access to an indoor swimming pool and fitness center. Dining options include the all-day restaurant “The Sunrise Dining,” the lobby lounge “The Inscape Lounge,” and the poolside bar “The Wave Pool Bar.” On the top 39th floor, the rooftop bar “The Ridge 39” will offer sweeping views of the East Sea and the Yangyang coastline.

A Parnas Hotel & Resort representative stated, “INSCAPE YANGYANG by PARNAS is a new destination hotel that combines Yangyang’s natural and cultural assets with Parnas Hotel & Resort’s 40 years of operational expertise. With its status as the tallest building in Gangwon Province, its proximity to Naksan Beach and Naksansa Temple, and its distinctive dining and service offerings, we are doing our utmost in preparations so that it will become a true landmark representing Yangyang.”
