After INSPIRE Arena, where should you stay for an early ICN flight?
Bottom line
For INSPIRE morning flights, airport distance outranks a city-view hotel. For a 07:00-hour departure, stay on the island or at the airport unless your own time says otherwise.

Unseo and the airport area
These are the venue’s top recommended zones. If the morning ICN transfer dominates, this is the cleanest stay.
Hongdae
A candidate if you want a Seoul-side night. It can work when the flight is not extremely early. Check AREX timing against the departure.
