The steam room is highly recommended, and it is located in the largest Shinsegae Department Store in Busan. After steaming, you will feel refreshed and start shopping for endless shopping. The perfect combination.

In the heart of Haeundae and connected via Haeundae Station to hotel lobby. A good location if you have day trips as meeting point is just at the same point.

The night view is worth seeing, but not much is shown above, and the angle is not very good. You can check in at the world's tallest Starbucks
