Not a hotel.
A home.

Leejae is a private house on a quiet, car-free lane beside Seoul's ancient fortress wall. Designed by an architect, every detail — from the custom wood furniture to the Tempur mattresses — is made for travelers who want more than a hotel room.

Since opening, 4,000+ guests from over 30 countries have called Leejae home during their stay in Seoul.

A lower kitchen cabinet with white doors and a grey hexagonal tiled backsplash, featuring hanging wooden cooking utensils in HOUSE1. A cosy living room sofa with warm wood panelling in HOUSE1. Two single Tempur mattresses by a window overlooking the Hanyangdoseong fortress wall. The attic loft bed of HOUSE2 under a sloped wooden ceiling.
Clean lines and natural textures, in every corner of the house.

"Jay's place is exceptional. You don't find Ikea here — real wooden furniture made by a skilled carpenter, fitted perfectly to this little house. Everything was clean. Peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I'd really like to visit again."

"Jay was very accommodating and quick to answer any questions. The location has a beautiful cultural site right next to it — a great spot of peace in an otherwise busy city. I could not recommend enough a stay here."

"Walking distance to Dongdaemun, so we could shop until late with no worry about the last train. Three separate bedrooms gave us privacy even as a group of five. We'd love to come back."
