ARTIST SUITE

Our Artist Suites are the result of close collaborations between RYSE and a select group of global creatives, each room designed to highlight a unique facet of the hotel experience.

Chris Ro transforms his suite into a living artwork — a space that is not only a gallery but an installation in itself. Laurent Segretier and Charles Munka bring their photographic perspectives into the room, capturing the character of Seoul and inviting guests to experience the space as an artist’s studio. Yeojoo Park fills her suite with a lightscape that shifts from day to night, creating a meditative atmosphere. And the Manhattan Records Seoul Room offers an immersive encounter with the stories, moods, and moments behind the music culture of the city.

Chris Ro has designed Artist Suite 1501 to encapsulate the feeling of being basked in the warmth of sunshine, with the focus being on the color, Yellow. Employing a spatial and raw sensory approach to the paintings, Chris has utilized the walls of the hotel to create a space that combines the functionality of touch and highlighting the selected pieces. The suite serves as an extension of the first floor’s Art Relay and connects to the long partnership that RYSE has with Chris.

Room 1502 is a space curated by RYSE, filled with artworks that invite you to quietly meet your emotions and inner rhythm. One painting capturing the subtle accidents and emotional flow of the everyday city, paired with two photographs holding the energy and mood of a single moment, come together to encourage a slow and honest look inward.

More than a guest room, Room 1502 offers a small canvas for pause and reflection. The textures, soft blurs, and traces within each artwork create a gentle rhythm throughout the space, giving guests a private moment of contemplation. The experience of 1502 is calm yet profound—offering a quiet return to oneself.

The multi-colored suite by Yeojoo presents the <Twilight Zone> series through her designed Artist Suite 1504. Twilight is a transition period between night and day and twilight zone is the deepest layer in the ocean that the light can approach. With this dual meaning, Yeojoo intended the audience to feel the boundary between time and space in reality at her artist suite. The <Twilight Zone> series can be recognized through the windows. The windows, lights and other elements in the room create a spectrum of color tones and offer a new perception of space and an inspiring place to relax.

“The <Twilight Zone> series can be seen both during the day and at night. Due to limited operation hours, it’s hard for people to catch the night scene at art exhibition. But at RYSE artist suite, you can feel both ways.”

Artist suite 1503 by Laurant have walls filled with his photos taken in the Hongdae neighborhood. Laurent is a fine artist based in Paris and Hong Kong and produces fine art photos in a highly processed style and 3D computer rendering. He spent weeks living in Seoul while working on this project. Charles Munka is a collage artist and painter from Paris and Tokyo who paints directly on the walls to put his stamp on the suites.

In October 2025, Room 1505 at RYSE was reborn as the Artist Suite by Manhattan Records Seoul.

The Artist Suite by Manhattan Records Seoul embodies RYSE’s brand philosophy — “I can make this my own!”
Here, guests can experience the essence of creative ownership through a curated selection of hip-hop and Black music vinyl, turntables, and DJ equipment.

More than just listening, guests are invited to create their own playlist and become the DJ of their stay, filling the raw concrete walls of RYSE with their own rhythm. Feel the Creative Energy of Seoul unfold in the most personal and expressive way possible.

At Room 1505, this is not just another hotel room —
it’s a private studio where you shape your own artist moment.
