Seoul's Autumn Romance at Gangnam|Ananti Hotel: Loft Aesthetics and Full-on K-Drama Vibes!

The most unforgettable part of my autumn trip to Seoul with Mr. Wang was staying at the Ananti Hotel in Gangnam. From the loft-style rooms, prime location, adorable eco-friendly amenities, to the "K-drama-worthy" swimming pool, every detail made me want to "stay forever"!

🏨 The "Innovative Charm" of Loft Rooms

▪️ A Fusion of Space and Style
The high-ceiling loft rooms were a delightful surprise! With a living room on the first floor and a bedroom on the second, the spaciousness was incredible. The wooden flooring paired with white walls created a chic "Nordic meets Japanese" vibe. At night, you can relax on the sofa downstairs watching the projector, while upstairs, the bed with soft down comforters offers "double-layered comfort"—absolutely loved it!

▪️ Adorable Eco-Friendly Surprises
The bathroom's solid shampoo and conditioner set was so cute! Packaged in eco-friendly paper boxes with "little leaf" designs, the shampoo had a "herbal fresh scent," and the conditioner left my hair silky smooth. I couldn’t resist buying a few sets to take home as thoughtful gifts for friends.

🛍️ "Shopping Paradise" Location

▪️ Close to Garosu-gil
The hotel is just a 10-minute walk from Garosu-gil! The street is lined with Korean designer boutiques and cozy cafes. In the morning, I enjoyed a "Pumpkin Latte" (₩5,500) at "A TWOSOME PLACE," spent the afternoon shopping for trendy items at "ADER error," and returned to the hotel conveniently in the evening.

📸 "Photo-Worthy Secrets" of a Trendy Hotel

▪️ Wooden Decor's Play of Light
The room's extensive wooden elements paired with floor-to-ceiling windows create "Instagram-worthy shots" effortlessly when sunlight streams in. Sit at the corner of the staircase, use the wooden handrail as a foreground, switch your phone to "portrait mode," and select a "Japanese fresh" filter for naturally glowing skin.

▪️ K-Drama Vibes at the Pool
The outdoor pool is stunning! Crystal chandeliers reflect in the blue water, and "sky-blue towels" are neatly placed on the loungers nearby. Sitting by the pool in a bikini, capturing a "back view shot," instantly gives off "K-drama heroine" vibes.

💡 Ananti Hotel Tips

✅ Booking Tips
Weekdays are 30% cheaper than weekends! Book two weeks in advance to secure "high-floor view rooms" for a glimpse of Gangnam's nightscape.

✅ Must-Visit Photo Spots

1. Staircase in the room: Sit on the steps holding the solid soap set for an "eco-chic" photo.
2. Poolside: Lounge on the chair with the crystal chandelier and pool as the backdrop for a "vacation vibe" shot.
3. Hotel lobby: Stand near the reception desk with the wooden backdrop wall for a "fashion street-style" selfie.

✅ Packing Essentials
✔️ Camera (for capturing loft rooms and pool shots)
✔️ Bikini (a must for poolside photos)
✔️ Korean adapter (room outlets require conversion)

Summary: Ananti Hotel combines "loft design × eco-friendly concepts × prime location" to make my autumn trip to Seoul full of surprises. From the small details in the room to the grand scenes at the pool, every corner reflects "the designer's thoughtful touch." Next time I visit Seoul, I’ll bring my girlfriends along to take more "K-drama-worthy" photos and create even more beautiful memories!
