Paradise Hotel Busan wraps up role as official headquarters hotel for Busan International Film Festival

Paradise Hotel Busan announced Friday that it had successfully completed its role as the official headquarters hotel for the 31st Busan International Film Festival, Asia's largest film festival.

The hotel served as a "Star House" — a dedicated hub welcoming filmmakers from around the world — during the festival, which ran from Oct. 6 through Thursday.

Beyond offering refined accommodations and attentive service, the hotel created an environment where film industry figures could relax and connect naturally before and after official events, positioning itself as a center for exchange and camaraderie.

On the opening night of Oct. 6, the hotel hosted an official after-party that brought together directors, actors and film industry professionals from around the world, drawing widespread praise as a venue for global networking.

Paradise Hotel Busan has served as the festival's official headquarters hotel since its inaugural edition in 1996, supporting the growth of the festival and the development of South Korea's film industry.

The hotel has also demonstrated its hospitality credentials by serving as headquarters hotel for several major international events, including the 2026 Korea International Streaming Festival and LIV Golf Korea 2026.

"We will continue to fulfill our role as a global hospitality company representing Busan," a hotel official said.
