The Accommodation
You’ll be staying at Hotel Naru Seoul, a five star boutique hotel by MGallery set along the tranquil Han River in Seoul’s Mapo district. Framed by panoramic river views and a striking infinity pool high above the city, the rooms blend contemporary Korean design with restorative calm while offering luxury amenities.
Outside of The Knit Retreat, the hotel offers plenty to enjoy, including a curated art tour of modern Korean works displayed throughout the hotel, the infinity pool, refined international dining at Restaurant Voisin, cocktails at Bar Voisin, and the riverside culture of Mapo at your doorstep. Spend your free time enjoying all that the hotel has to offer.
Hotel Naru
The Rooms
Each Premier River Room features a king-sized bed, a marble bathroom with a round-type bathtub, a separate rainfall shower, and a 55” 4K Smart TV. Contemporary Korean design meets restorative calm, with sweeping views over the Han River and Seoul’s signature skyline. The perfect backdrop to settle in with your knitting projects.
Set along the tranquil river in Mapo, it’s removed from the noise but close to everything Seoul has to offer. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay and knit a little longer.
Eateries
Enjoy a full breakfast every morning at Restaurant Voisin on the 22nd floor, where seasonal dishes come paired with sweeping views of the Han River. Lunches are out and about near each day’s excursions from Korean barbecue to a local bite in Insadong, so bring your WIP along and knit together between stops.
Re-gather each evening back at the hotel for a fully catered dinner at Bar Voisin. Settle in for the night at Knit Lounge with teas, hot chocolate, and a selection of sweet treats.

-
The cost covers all accommodation, private airport transfers and all meals, as well as access to the signature Knit Lounge.
-
We’re able to keep our prices lower than many comparable trips for a few key reasons.
The Knit Retreat is independently organised, which means no big tour company margins, and we work directly with our hotel partners and local artisans in Seoul.
That lets us invest in quality accommodation, food and experiences rather than layers of middlemen.
We also keep the focus on community and craft rather than a packed schedule of costly add‑ons, so you’re paying for a thoughtfully curated retreat, not a mark‑up.
-
The Knit Retreat is an open community - whether you are coming solo or with a bestie! If you choose the Shared Double Room option, you’ll be charged $4,800 for two people, and you’ll be able to share a room with a double bed each instead of one king bed.
-
You’ll get a confirmation email straight away with your booking details. If you paid the deposit, the remaining balance is charged automatically to the same card 30 days before the retreat, and we’ll send a reminder before it goes out.
Please note that our retreats are subject to a minimum number of participants. We’ll confirm with you as soon as the minimum has been met, so please hold off on booking flights or any other travel until you hear from us.
Once your place is confirmed, we’ll be in touch nearer the time about flights, packing and everything else. Then it’s just a matter of getting excited.
