From the roof, the tiled lanes of Jeonju Hanok Village are the view, and the pool is up there with you. Lahan reopened this house on April 30, 2020, after taking over the Lewin Hotel and redoing the rooms. One hundred ninety-five of them face either the village or the city. The outdoor pool, an adult basin about 1.2 meters deep and a children's basin at half a meter, was the only rooftop pool in Jeonju when it opened, and people who are not staying can still buy a swim.

About Lahan Hotel Jeonju
- The name is a blend of raon, a pure-Korean word for joy, and Han, for Korea. General manager Lee Hyun-so described it in 2020 as the old habit of receiving a guest warmly.
- Hanokdang, a separate cafe with the same village view, opened in September 2020. The bookstore on the ground floor, Jeonju Sanchaek, is the one that hosts book talks.
- Dongnagwon House is about a tenth of a mile away, and the Jeonju Korean Traditional Wine Museum is a five-minute walk. The village itself starts at the door.
History
Han & Company, which had bought most of the old Hotel Hyundai chain, took over Jeonju's Lewin Hotel and brought it into the new Lahan brand. The house opened under that name on April 30, 2020, after the rooms and restaurants were redone, with 195 rooms facing the village or the city. In July 2020 a rooftop pool opened over the hanok roofs, a 1.2-meter adult basin and a 0.5-meter children's basin, the only rooftop pool in Jeonju at the time. Anyone in town can buy a day ticket. The ground-floor bookstore cafe is Jeonju Sanchaek. Hanokdang, another cafe with the same view, opened that September.
The setting
On the edge of Jeonju Hanok Village, close enough that the walk is the point. The Korean Traditional Wine Museum is about five minutes on foot. Dongnagwon House is about a tenth of a mile off, and the Hanok Living Experience Center is just beyond that. Rooms are sold as hanok view or city view. The walk stays in the old center, on the edge of the hanok village.
