Okay, this might just be one of Marriott’s coolest and most memorable hotel rooms anywhere (perhaps along with the Boeing 737 cockpit suite in Amsterdam, the Goodnight Moon suite in Boston, etc.)…
Marriott’s RYSE Seoul has a bed that you won’t believe
While browsing a Marriott Bonvoy Facebook group (as one does — passionate Bonvoy elite members are a fascinating bunch!), I saw that someone posted the below picture of a hotel room, without mentioning the property. I assumed this was some photoshop prank, but nope… this is an actual room at RYSE Seoul, a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel.
The hotel seems to have a quirky design, with lots of unique rooms. However, nothing is quite as unusual as the Curator Suite, which is a 785 square foot (73 square meter) room. It seems that this concept launched back in February 2025, so the suite (in its current form) is just under a year old. For a random night that I pulled it up, the rate was around $720.
As you might have guessed, the defining characteristic of this suite is that it has a massive bed. The suite seems to have a maximum occupancy of four guests, though given the art on the wall in the room, one certainly wonders if there may be exceptions to allow for more guests.
Here’s the backstory of this suite:
MSCHF has designed Curator Suite 1503 around the concept of the extra-long bed, BED 2525. Exploring the trajectory of human size, MSCHF posits that as humans continue to evolve and grow, so too will the need for appropriately sized accommodations. “Long Bed for Long Sleep in the Far Future” serves as the suite’s central theme, contemplating a time when giants once again walk the earth.
Complementing this futuristic vision, the suite also showcases a retrospective of MSCHF’s work, featuring pieces from their LA and New York Perriton Gallery shows, including the Animorphs Series, Botched Masters, and the iconic Damien Hirst Spot pieces.
How do the logistics of this bed even work?!?
I’m not sure how big this bed actually is, but I imagine it must be at least 20 feet long, if not much longer than that? Is there one continuous mattress, or are there just a bunch of “stacked” mattresses, given that this is intended to be a form of art?
And how do the sheets even work? How does one even get custom sheets like this? For that matter, how hard is it to climb into this bed, with the sheets tucked in?
Bottom line
Marriott’s RYSE Seoul has one of the most memorable hotel suites I’ve ever seen, as the Curator Suite has an extra long bed that doesn’t even look real. This suite was designed in partnership with Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF, and certainly provides an experience you won’t find at any other hotel.
What do you make of this Marriott hotel bed? It’s obviously cool to look at, but would you actually want to sleep in it?
