Sihwayeonpung is the first hotel from Hotel Arrive, AZMT's local community hotel brand. It opened in 2022 in a 20-room hotel building from 1985 that was remodelled rather than replaced. It sits in Jeonju's old city centre near Pungnammun Gate, the only one of the city's four old gates still standing, with Nambu Market, the Gaekridan-gil area and Jeonju Hanok Village close by.
The name plays on an old saying, 시화연풍 (時和年豊), a wish for peaceful times and a good harvest every year, chosen because it carries the pung of Pungpae, an old name for Jeonju. Hotel Arrive changed two of its characters (時花緣豊) so it now wishes guests a stay they remember well and good people met along the way. In the lobby, Story Shelf takes its idea from Gongik Jilok, a 1912 building that opened as a public pawnshop in 1940 and that Hotel Arrive Jeonju also runs as a whole-house stay: you leave an object you no longer use, with its story, and it is sold on to someone who needs it.
For a longer stay, the practical parts are shared. The hotel does not stock single-use items and there is no bottled water in the rooms. Instead, a small kitchen in the 1st-floor lobby lounge has a water purifier, microwave, fridge and tableware that guests can use freely. There is a rooftop terrace, and Live a Live, Hotel Arrive Jeonju's café and bar at the entrance to Nambu Market, works as a lounge and workspace for hotel guests.
