Jungmun's cliff hotel opened on June 1, 1985 as the Hyatt Regency Jeju, 225 rooms in an eight-story octagon whose atrium is still the heart of the house. The Hyatt flag came down in 2019. After a short life as The Shore Hotel, it returned in July 2022 as Parnas: 307 rooms, the old wing plus an S-shaped new one by The System Lab and HETA, tied together by a glass lobby. Out on the cliff, a 110-meter infinity pool runs hot all year.

About Parnas Hotel Jeju
- Aju Group bought the Hyatt in 2000. Blue Cove took The Shore Hotel in 2020, and GS Retail, in as the strategic investor, made this the first Parnas hotel outside Seoul and Gyeonggi.
- The 2023 series King the Land shot inside the hotel. The sunlit lobby did a lot of the work.
- Jungmun Saekdal Beach, the surfing beach, is about a five-minute walk below the cliff. Cheonjeyeon waterfall sits in the same tourist complex.
History
Jungmun's cliff hotel opened on June 1, 1985 as the Hyatt Regency Jeju: 225 rooms, four floors under ground and eight above, on a site of about 53,600 square meters, with a casino, banquet rooms, and pools indoors and out. Construction had started in 1982. Aju Group bought it in 2000. The Hyatt contract ended at the close of August 2019, and for a while the house was The Shore Hotel Jeju. In 2020 Aju sold it to Blue Cove Asset Management. GS Retail came in as the strategic investor and put the Parnas name on it.
The System Lab, with HETA, renovated and extended the 1980s building. They kept the octagonal plan and the atrium, added an S-shaped wing so the new rooms would not block the old ones, and joined the two with a glass lobby. Work finished in May 2022. The hotel reopened in July 2022 with 307 rooms in two buildings. On the cliff they set a 110-meter infinity pool, heated all year, and both the architects and the hotel treat it as the longest in the country.
The setting
The address is 100 Jungmungwangwang-ro 72beon-gil, Seogwipo, inside the Jungmun Tourist Complex, on the cliff with hills at the sides and the sea in front.
