Luxe & Suite Room Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name Luxe & Suite Room, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. It sounds a bit like they couldn’t decide between calling it a luxury hotel or highlighting the suites, so they just went with both. But you know what? Sometimes the places with the quirky names turn out to be the hidden gems, and this 4-star spot really surprised me in the best way possible.

What struck me immediately was how they’ve managed to nail that sweet spot between upscale and actually comfortable. The suites – and honestly, most of the rooms here feel suite-like even when they’re not technically suites – have this lived-in elegance that’s hard to find. I mean, you’ve got your marble surfaces and quality linens, sure, but there’s also enough space to actually spread out your stuff without feeling like you’re living in a museum. The bathrooms are particularly well thought out (separate soaking tubs in most rooms, and the water pressure is actually decent), though I will say the lighting can be a bit dramatic for morning routines – just something to keep in mind if you’re not a fan of moody bathroom vibes.

The staff here genuinely seems to know what they’re doing, which isn’t always a given even at highly-rated places. Check-in was smooth, they remembered my name throughout the stay, and when I mentioned I was celebrating an anniversary, they sent up champagne without making a big production about it. That 9.1 rating makes complete sense once you’ve been there a few days. The housekeeping is thorough but not intrusive, and they’re flexible about timing if you need to sleep in or work late. Parking is handled by valet, which some people love and others find annoying – personally, I appreciated not having to hunt for a spot, though there is a fee involved. The location puts you within walking distance of some really solid restaurants and shops, nothing too touristy but plenty of options when you don’t feel like venturing far. Noise levels are generally quite reasonable, even on weekends, though rooms facing the main street can pick up some late-night activity – ask for something toward the back if you’re a light sleeper. Overall, it’s the kind of place where the little details add up to something genuinely comfortable, and honestly, that’s rarer than it should be these days.

    Good location next to Hongik University station, exit 7. This is directly on the airport line. There is a 7/11 store just below which is convenient (but the owner is a rude guy).
