Nest Hotel Incheon

Floor-to-ceiling windows, slightly tilted to catch the sun all day, look out over pine forest and the Yellow Sea from every room in this large, ultra-modern luxury hotel on Yeongjongdo Island. The name suggests a cozy hideaway; the reality is hundreds of suites, a theater, a spa, an infinity pool, and a kids' club. The stacked, symmetrical design earns the bird metaphor, at least architecturally. Seoul's main airport is ten minutes away.
