Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Hongdae
Ryse is Seoul's best design hotel for creatives — its contemporary art collection spans thousands of works, the rooftop bar Uppercut has arguably the finest views in Hongdae, and the MashiMaro Bakery in the lobby has become a neighbourhood institution.
Myeongdong
Hotel28 is among the most charming and well-priced boutique options in central Seoul — its warm, contemporary rooms, excellent breakfast spread, and genuinely helpful staff make it a strong choice for first-time visitors navigating Myeongdong's sensory bombardment.
Myeongdong
Lotte's lifestyle brand L7 delivers exactly what Myeongdong visitors need: a rooftop bar with Namsan views, stylish compact rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a location that puts you equidistant from palaces, shopping, and street food.
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.
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.
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.
