Shangria Hotel
Relaxed sea-view rooms with a cafe for the mornings
About this hotel
Shangria plays a straightforward hand well: relaxed, comfortable rooms, some with sea views for the higher floors, a cafe for a slower morning before an early circuit gate time, and a proper restaurant for evenings when nobody wants to go looking for dinner after a long race day. Free parking and accessible rooms widen who it suits, and the meeting space, while clearly built for business travel, doubles as a useful spot for a crew planning the next day's logistics over coffee. It isn't chasing a theme or a signature amenity; it's a chic, comfortable mid-range hotel that handles the unglamorous parts of a race weekend, parking, breakfast, a decent bed, without making a guest work for any of it.

Our take
This suits a family or small group wanting a comfortable, mid-range base with real amenities like a cafe and restaurant on site, without paying for luxury extras they won't use. Accessible rooms and free parking make it practical for a wider range of travellers than most on this list. A group chasing a boutique or heritage stay should look at the hanok properties instead; this one is comfort-first and straightforward about it.
- ✓Ask specifically for a sea-view room at booking; they're not standard across every floor of the hotel.
- ✓Use the cafe for an early race-morning coffee rather than searching for one near the circuit gates.
- ✓Book the restaurant table ahead on race night; it fills fast once fans are back from the track.

Why guests love itThe cafe downstairs became our morning routine before every circuit run, coffee and a quiet minute before the day got loud. Our room wasn't the sea-view type but the ones we saw on the higher floor looked worth requesting next time. What sold us was how little effort the stay took: parking sorted, breakfast easy, a restaurant table when we didn't want to go searching for dinner after a long day on our feet at the track.
