The hype
Impeccable service and stunning hardware, but the nickel-and-diming on facilities rubs some the wrong way.
Four Seasons Hotel Seoul
$450-700/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want the absolute best location for sightseeing in Seoul without sacrificing an ounce of modern luxury.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- Floor-to-ceiling windows with jaw-dropping views of Gyeongbokgung Palace (in select rooms)
- The hidden Charles H. speakeasy, ranked among Asia's best bars
- A massive, world-class fitness club and Korean sauna that puts other hotel gyms to shame
Brzi pregled: It’s a polished, corporate machine that executes luxury perfectly, but you'll pay extra for every single perk—even the sauna.
Pregledano od @realestatebyaudrey: I checked into the Four Seasons Seoul and honestly, it’s the perfect mix of business and pleasure. The twin beds were super plush, and I loved having my morning coffee with that city view. The workspace is huge, too!
Gost koji je boravio ovdje je rekao
Reality check
The 'Palace View' is worth the upgrade price; the 'City View' is just a view of office buildings.
- You are a fitness junkie (the gym is huge)
- You love speakeasy culture and high-end cocktails
- You need a central base near Gwanghwamun for business or tourism

Pre nego što rezervirate
Korisno znati
- The airport limousine bus (6002) stops very close, but a taxi is easier with luggage.
- Download the Four Seasons app—it's the fastest way to request ice, room service, or concierge help.
- Taxis can be hard to hail on the street; use the Kakao T app or have the doorman call one.
Šta pakovati
- Swim cap (if you have a preferred one, otherwise use the hotel's)
- Smart casual clothes for Charles H. (no flip-flops or sportswear allowed)
- Universal travel adapter (though most rooms have multi-outlets)
Genie za sobe
Najbolji izbor
- Palace-View Executive Suite (unbeatable views of the palace and Blue House)
- Corner Premier Room (feels like a mini-apartment with dual-aspect windows)
Sobe koje treba izbegavati
- Standard Deluxe rooms on lower floors (views are blocked by neighboring office towers)
Genie za zahteve za sobe – kopiraj i lepak
“I would appreciate a high-floor room facing North for the Gyeongbokgung Palace view. If possible, please avoid rooms directly near the elevator bank.”

Insajderski saveti
- ✨
The 'hidden' entrance to Charles H. is near the staircase in the lower lobby—look for the door that blends into the wall.
- ✨
Valet parking is a steal at KRW 30,000 per stay (not per night), which is rare for Seoul luxury hotels.
- ✨
There is a secret 'kids glamping' tent setup available for families—request it in advance.
