Seoul is a city brimming with vibrant food markets, bustling shopping districts, and endless layers of gripping history. Located in the thrumming Gwanghwamun neighbourhood, Four Seasons Hotel Seoul is primed for deeper immersions into this captivating city. But it’s not just the location that makes the Four Seasons one of Seoul’s best hotels, so much as the offering from the hotel itself. Stepping inside, the buzz of Gwanghwamun Square makes way for a striking lobby built around a grand, circular fireplace – cast in an ancient bronze map of South Korea. And this is just a glimpse of what lies ahead.
The hotel’s Premier Rooms showcase views over the city with their bright floor-to-ceiling windows, while the Italian marbled bathrooms add a touch of Roman flair. Premier Family Rooms provide a similar level of opulence, but with extra space for those travelling with children. For a special treat, you may wish to consider the spacious Palace-View Executive Suite. With commanding vistas overlooking the impressive Gyeongbokgung Palace – even from the bathroom – the suite exudes a palatial presence of its own kind. Beyond your room, you’ll find a spa equipped with a Korean sauna and Turkish hammam, offering bespoke treatments ranging from ancient Korean scrubs to rejuvenating seaweed detoxes. There are also numerous opportunities to stay active, with the hotel boasting an indoor mosaic-tiled swimming pool, a vitality pool, and a Pilates studio.
