Review

Synthesized from Condé Nast Traveler

Condé Nast Readers' Choice 2025 · 2024 · 2019

Character and identity

Perched on the slopes of Namsan and spread across 23 landscaped acres, this 615-room glass tower has the unusual feel of a resort dropped into central Seoul. The lobby sets the tone: high ceilings, stone and wood, soft light, and live jazz drifting from the Gallery lounge. Rooms, refreshed in 2019, pull from Korean visual traditions (hanok photography, bojagi-inspired wood patterns) without feeling themed. Eleven restaurants and bars include the omakase counter Kauri and The Paris Bar, while Club Olympus offers saunas, tennis, and an outdoor pool that becomes an ice rink in winter. Service is polished but unforced.

Who's it for

Best for:
Travellers who want a quiet, elevated base above the city rather than a street-level urban hotel. It suits business guests (every U.S. president since George H.W. Bush has stayed), couples after views and good cooking, and staycationers who'll use the wellness complex, pool/rink, and food alley across a long weekend.

Should look elsewhere:
Anyone who wants to walk straight out into shops, bars and restaurants will find the 20-minute uphill walk from Hangangjin Station a real friction, shuttles notwithstanding. Families needing supervised childcare should note the kids' lounge is unstaffed.

Bottom line

What you're paying for here is the Namsan setting and the sheer breadth of the property: a genuine resort footprint, eleven food and drink venues, and a serious wellness complex inside Seoul itself. Book a mountain-view room with Club Access for the lounge breakfast and evening canapes, and don't skip a seat at Kauri.
