Hotels in Pyeongchang — What to Expect
Think of crisp mountain air, alpine slopes, and the legacy of the 2018 Winter Games. Pyeongchang is South Korea’s premier highland destination, a place where winter sports reign supreme at the Alpensia and Yongpyong ski resorts. Beyond the snow, the Odaesan National Park offers lush hiking trails that transform with the seasons, leading to ancient temples like Woljeongsa. Come summer, the Hoengseong Hanu Town celebrates the region's famous beef, and the Daegwallyeong Sheep Farm provides wide-open, rolling green hills perfect for a peaceful stroll.
This county in Gangwon Province is ideal for active travelers, couples seeking a scenic retreat, and families looking for outdoor fun. Most visitors base themselves around the Alpensia Resort complex for direct ski access or in the more local Daegwallyeong area for a quieter, rural stay. Reaching Pyeongchang is straightforward via the KTX high-speed train to Jinbu Station, which connects you directly to the heart of the Olympic venues and surrounding hotels.
On HOTEVI, you’ll find 23 places to stay in the area. The accommodation mix leans heavily toward comfortable, modern resorts catering to skiers and large-scale lodges, with a selection of practical pensions and guesthouses for those on a tighter budget. Your choice largely depends on whether you want ski-in/ski-out convenience or a more independent mountain getaway.
