Creating a Neighborhood Hotel — RYSE Makes Its Mark on Hongdae

In the face of the sharing economy, the modern idea of a hotel has largely been upended and put on the defensive. When on-demand rental places offer a plethora of choices in prime neighborhoods and with potentially more competitive prices, it pushes hoteliers to reimagine what role they should play as fosterers of hospitality and community. RYSE is a modern hotel concept borne out of Jason Schlabach and Leo Moon's vision. Together, the two have drawn from their wealth of different cultural and business experience to create globally-unique and locally-relevant experiences. Several cultural pillars are well-represented within the confines of RYSE, ranging from world-class cuisine by San Francisco's Tartine and David Thompson's Long Chim, and local fashion retail heavyweight WORKSOUT.
