Recently, the term “hocance” has been gaining popularity, making the stay at hotels and resorts the ultimate purpose of a trip. The Eternal Journey book café in Hilton Busan was built for this purpose—to provide rest to visitors through books.

Eternal Journey, located inside the Hilton Hotel in Gijang-gun, Busan, is part of the Ananti Cove Town that hosts cafés and restaurants. The moment you walk in, you will see the unique perspective of Eternal Journey regarding the value of books. Inside the space of 1653 m2, over 20,000 books are on display. The arrangement of the stacks is unusual as well because, unlike general bookstores, there are no bestsellers or new release sections.

Designed with 55 themes, the store allows people to find the book that they want easily. Next to travel books are the swimsuits, and next to the music books is a piano. Books for children are displayed alongside a low desk and dolls. Book lovers will truly enjoy the excitement offered by the space itself.

In the café at the entrance of the bookstore, you can enjoy tea and desserts. There is also a space for children at one corner of the bookstore. Inside Ananti Town, there are famous restaurants and cafés, allowing visitors to enjoy the cool landscape of the ocean and take a stroll. This is why families often visit.

The Eternal Journey operates an exhibition as well as a monthly nighttime bookstore, book talk, and book club. People can fully concentrate on books and converse with experts from each field in depth. Even if you are not particularly fond of books, the space is still very attractive as they also display and sell photos, artworks, and cute little items that suit the theme of the books, making it a memorable and fun experience.
