Amazing hotel
Great hotel in the Jamsil area where you have amazing attractions close by with the highest tower in Korea, amazing food street close by amenities in the hotel are top class… swimming pools outside or indoor, saunas… Japanese toilets in the room… one of the best breakfast that I have ever had. Really enjoyed the stay but there is a complicated elevators to navigate :)

Access to a very large number of shopping and dining options were great, and the lakeside provided a great hiking train though quite crowded. Hotel was clean and staffs were all nice and very helpful. I would consider staying at the same hotel next time when I am in Seoul.

Top notch place. I was hoping this was going to be a real top end hotel... and it was. And right next to the best mall.
Only suggestion is a more friendly check-in. It feels like they’re more focused on explaining rules and checking all documents than to make you feel welcome and comfortable.
All other staff members are excellent. And the hotel itself is indeed the choice now. I stayed at the Four Seasons in Seoul before, which is great. But I would say this one is even better.
