Paradise Hotel Busan has been selected as the official hotel partner for BTS the City ARIRANG Busan, unveiling a series of immersive experiences and accommodation packages tied to BTS's upcoming Busan concert, scheduled for June 12 and 13.

The BTS-themed urban entertainment project transforms an entire city into a cultural destination by incorporating the group's music and storytelling into its urban spaces. As part of the initiative, Paradise Hotel Busan will convert key areas of the property into BTS-themed experience zones.

From June 8 to 21, the hotel's Ocean Pool Rooftop will feature installations inspired by "Swim," the title track from BTS's fifth studio album, ARIRANG. The rooftop will include a dedicated photo zone overlooking Haeundae Beach, an arch-shaped installation featuring ARIRANG-themed elements and branded decorations throughout the poolside bar area.

The hotel's outdoor ARIRANG Garden will host themed installations from June 8 to 14, including a symbolic gateway inspired by visuals from the new album and a photo wall. Large-scale graphic wraps on the hotel's glass exterior will further transform the property into a photo destination for fans.

An LED stage in ARIRANG Garden will continuously screen BTS music videos. Guests who upload photos taken at designated locations within the hotel using the official event hashtag will be entered into a drawing.

The hotel has also introduced exclusive BTS the City ARIRANG Busan accommodation packages. Guests will receive limited-edition merchandise, including a luggage pouch, gym sack, pins and other decorations. Korean snacks such as fish cake soup and tteokbokki are also included.

The standard one-night package includes either breakfast at On The Plate or a TIRTIR "Me Matcha-holic" set, while the lounge package adds access to Lounge Paradise and the indoor sauna. A two-night package includes one complimentary breakfast.

From June 8 to 14, several hotel dining venues will offer BTS-themed food and beverages. Italian restaurant La Scala will present the "Overture" course menu, while Crystal Garden will offer themed items such as the "Spring Day Ade," "Butter Cream Latte" and "Black Burger."

Bar Nyx will serve three signature cocktails inspired by the group's artistic journey, while the Poolside Bar will offer themed menu selections, including a Korean snack set, a chicken and beer set and the "Spring Day Set," featuring a chicken burger and beverage.

The collaboration reflects growing demand for experiential tourism and fandom-focused travel products. By combining accommodation, themed content and interactive experiences, the project aims to offer visitors a more immersive way to engage with K-pop culture.

"As the official themed hotel partner for BTS the City ARIRANG Busan, we designed this project to provide global visitors with memorable experiences that go beyond accommodation," a Paradise Hotel Busan official said. "We will continue to develop content-driven hospitality programs connected to K-culture and enhance the overall guest experience."
