Jangchung
The Shilla Seoul is the Korean luxury institution — a grand resort hotel set in lush parkland near Namsan Mountain, renowned for its La Yeon restaurant (three Michelin stars), sublime spa, and a standard of personal service that remains unmatched in Korea.
Jamsil
Perched on floors 76–101 of the Lotte World Tower — South Korea's tallest building — Signiel Seoul offers literally cloud-piercing views of the Han River and city below. Its Signatures restaurant and butler service are as elevated as the address suggests.
Jangchung
The Shilla's sister property operates on a more accessible tier — a polished, well-run business hotel with all the Shilla group's hallmark service standards, a shopping arcade of Korean luxury brands, and easy access to both Gangnam and the historic centre.
Gangnam
Glad Live's striking angular tower and rooftop open-air cinema have made it Gangnam's most talked-about mid-range option — bright, design-forward rooms, a buzzy restaurant scene, and excellent subway access at a price that undercuts its neighbours significantly.
Gwanghwamun
Opened in 2015 in a dramatic skyscraper steps from Gyeongbokgung Palace, Four Seasons Seoul houses eight restaurants including Yun Tong — one of Korea's finest Cantonese establishments — plus a stunning spa inspired by traditional Korean jjimjilbang bathhouse culture.
Gangnam
The crown jewel of Korea's Josun Hotel Group, this 254-room Gangnam flagship opened in 2021 to immediate acclaim — its Louis Vuitton flagship on premises, palatial lobby, Michelin-starred Bar & Grill, and genuinely rare warm service in a neighbourhood that usually skews corporate.
