DISCOVER THE FOREST WITHIN

Enter a reimagined Korean forest, where personal harmony and nature intersect, offering moments of reflection. Through surreal, physical-meets-digital landscapes and the lush greenery of the natural world, experience the serenity and harmony of nature, guided by the ethereal spirit of the the Korean Tiger. Inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow’s commitment and approach to wellness, renowned floral designer Jeff Leatham worked in tandem to create a lush oasis designed to welcome guests on a journey of serenity.

Design Rooted In Nature

The Forest Within is an intersection of nature and technology, forging a transformative experience: a reimagining of the Korean forest through immersive, physical-meets-digital design, in partnership with floral artist Jeff Leatham. Honoring the natural environment's wisdom and beauty, innovation does not replace the natural world, it deepens our guests' connection to it.

Korean-Inspired Wellness

The healing practice of forest bathing centers on slowing down and remaining present while connecting with nature. With this inspiration, the installation evokes the feeling of being immersed in the lush, ambient environment of a Korean forest. In this tranquil realm, calming scents and ambient soundscapes create a multisensory atmosphere designed to soothe the body and mind and restore inner harmony.

Korea’s Mountain Forests

High in Korea’s mountains, forests of pine, bamboo, and moss breathe with timeless life. Step into these sacred landscapes throughout the installation, discovering the beauty and profound restoration of the timeless natural landscape. Experience a place where nature, spirit, and stillness are one.
