2 Best Hotels in Daegu, Side Trips from Busan

Delivering all the excellence you'd expect from this global brand, the Daegu Marriott can also boast location: it's just a two-minute walk from Dongdaegu Station and within easy striking distance of restaurants, shopping centers, and other downtown sights. The rooms are incredibly spacious and bright, done up in soft earth tones with bold flashes of white, bringing out a warm elegance. All offer terrific city views, and the hotel's restaurant Urban Kitchen also has one of the city's best buffets, as well as authentic Chinese at East Gate. The Marriott also comes with a comprehensive fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools, as well as a tranquil spa for all of your self-improvement and relaxation needs.

This Japanese chain is always a sure bet for value and convenience, and its Daegu branch doesn't disappoint. While they won't win any awards for size, the rooms are impeccably clean with comfy beds, writing desks, and surprisingly big bathrooms. The hotel also comes equipped with a simple business center and coin laundry, and the central location can't be beat.
