Kangwon Land Hotel & Casino Resort

Winner of an international design competition, this one-of-a-kind mixed-use casino resort transforms a former coal mine in South Korea’s scenic Kangwon Mountains into a dazzling world of wonder. Set beside a tranquil lake in a picturesque valley near the east coast, the resort’s crystalline-inspired architecture draws from a captivating tale: an imagined expedition deep into an abandoned mine shaft that bursts through to the earth’s core—home to the Dokkaebi, mystical Korean creatures who dwell in a realm of glittering crystals.

Perched at the valley’s crest, the luxury hotel and casino command breathtaking views, while retail, entertainment venues, and residential condominiums cascade gracefully down toward the lakefront. Guests arriving here are transported into a magical escape—where every path invites exploration, every moment shimmers with possibility, and every stay becomes a story.
