Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

Four Seasons Hotel Seoul Overview

When I first walked into the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, honestly, I wasn’t prepared for how the place would completely shift my perspective on what luxury means in South Korea. You know what struck me immediately? The way they’ve managed to blend that signature Four Seasons elegance with distinctly Korean touches – and I mean subtle ones, not the over-the-top cultural theming you sometimes see in international hotels.

The location in Seoul is absolutely killer, though you might not realize it from the street level. I mean, Seoul’s such a vertical city that sometimes the best spots are hidden in plain sight. What I loved about staying here was how quickly you could dive into different neighborhoods – one morning I walked to Myeongdong for some serious shopping and street food (those hotteok vendors know what they’re doing), and another day I found myself wandering through the more traditional areas without needing to plan some elaborate expedition. The staff actually gave me these hand-drawn little maps with their personal recommendations, which felt way more genuine than the usual tourist brochures.

The rooms – well, they’re what you’d expect from a property with a 9.3 rating, but there were these thoughtful details that caught me off guard. The bathroom amenities included some Korean skincare brands I’d been wanting to try, and the minibar had local snacks alongside the usual overpriced nuts and chocolate. Actually, the view situation varies quite a bit depending on which side you’re on, so it’s worth asking when you book. I got lucky with a room facing the mountains on a clear day, but my friend who stayed there a month later had more of a cityscape view – still gorgeous, just different. The beds are incredibly comfortable, though I did notice the rooms can get a bit warm in summer despite the excellent air conditioning (maybe it’s just me, but I always run hot in Korean hotels for some reason). What really impressed me was how quiet everything stayed, even during the busy evening hours when the elevators were constantly moving and the lobby was buzzing with guests heading out for dinner. Check-in was smooth as silk, and they handled my late arrival without any fuss – sometimes it’s the simple things that make all the difference when you’re jet-lagged and just want to collapse somewhere beautiful.

The luxury concierge service in Seoul offers personalized access to traditional Korean cooking classes, premium kimchi tastings, and VIP cultural events in this dynamic blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge technology.

  Every thing was perfect. The location, the design of the building, the kind and welcoming staff.
  And that breakfast was THE BEST I have ever had. If you are staying there please make sure you try it.

• Maria from Japan (10/10)

  The room was spacious, the interior well thought out, the bathroom, shower & toilet were laid out smartly and the Diptique toiletries were a nice touch. I like how the small details like the floor mat stays in place when you open the shower door, the flush is automatic when you stand up and the amenities are sustainably crafted. The eye masks were a welcome & unexpected treat! The food in the restaurants we tried were very good and the service of the staff from the front desk to the concierge to the food outlets were exceptional. And the fitness center was just WOW!
