Paradise Hotel Busan, 31-year BIFF partner, to become festival's 'Star House' headquarters

The heart of Asia's premier film festival: 'Star House' makes a glamorous return

Paradise Hotel Busan will serve as the official headquarters hotel and sponsor of the 31st Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), which opens next month. The move marks a solid 31-year partnership that has continued without interruption since the festival's launch in 1996.

During the festival, the hotel will transform into Star House, an exclusive space for VIPs from the global film industry and top-tier actors. Beyond providing accommodations, it will deploy comprehensive infrastructure, including premium suites and customized concierge services to support the festival's successful operation.

The 31st Busan International Film Festival will unfold over 10 days, from next month 6 through 15, centered on the Busan Cinema Center and venues across Centum City, Haeundae and Nampo-dong. On opening night, in particular, the hotel's outdoor garden at its main building, overlooking Haeundae's scenic coastline, will host the official after-party, bringing together film professionals from around the world and expected to take the festival's energy to a peak.

A Paradise Hotel Busan representative said, "Having shared the festival's historic journey as it grew into an event of global stature beyond Asia is a major asset for the hotel." The representative added, "This year, too, we will provide filmmakers visiting Busan with an irreplaceable best-in-class experience and help strengthen the city's standing as a global cultural hub."
