About

Eugene Guesthouse is an 80-year-old hanok with a spacious yard located on Daehak-ro in Hyehwa-dong. The guesthouse takes its name from the owner’s daughter, Eugene, a name familiar to both Koreans and Westerners.

Eugene Guesthouse was designated by Seoul as Hanok Homestay #1 (Jongno-gu) in December 2009. Stories of visitors from around the world who stayed at Eugene Guesthouse in the past decade were featured in the publication, “I Travel the World at a Hanok in Hyehwa-dong.”

Eugene Guesthouse is also founded under the name Kim Tae Kil’s House (Seoul Future Heritage). This house is deeply rooted in history as it was the residence of Professor Kim Tae Kil, a philosopher who pioneered the way for Korean philosophy and essayist who left behind over 150 essays, including “What is Life?” Kim Tae Kil taught philosophy and resided in this house when the Seoul National University College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was located in Daehak-ro.

The guesthouse also sits near the Seoul City Wall, which allows guests to hike up the wall for a full view of Seoul.
