Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“The centrally located Four Seasons Hotel Seoul’s gentle curves pay homage to the eaves of traditional tile-roof homes known as hanok. The hotel offers rooms overlooking Gyeongbokgung Palace and the mountains to the north.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Seoul.

Fodors review:

“One of the most luxurious accommodations in Seoul, this location of the Four Seasons boasts several well-reputed restaurants and a state-of-the-art spa in addition to spotless, sunny guest rooms that have panoramic city views.”

Forbes review:

“The new 29-story, glass-and-steel Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, designed by Su Sin Tao of Singapore, is meant to look like an ancient Korean palace of old, but stylized and brought into the 21st century.”

All you need to know

A stylish elegance standing right in the heat of Seoul, Korea.

Seoul, the dynamic capital city of South Korea, is lined with a plethora of modern structures, historical monuments, verdant mountains, and more. Just slide aside the curtains and immerse yourself in the picturesque city views looking through floor-to-ceiling windows. Yeah, we are talking about the views from the top-tier rooms of Four Seasons Hotel Seoul!

Just as the name indicates, this contemporary Gwanghwamun Hotel brings the Four Seasons experience to the premises of Korea for the very first time. Here, you can enjoy the world-class pampering facilities at the urban spa, drool over the authentic Cantonese cuisine at Yu Yuan, or be high when sipping explicit drinks at  Charles H.

This one-of-a-kind hotel offers five accommodation options, each featuring its own charm. These include the Premier Room, City-View Executive Suit, Ambassador Suit, Palace-View Executive Suit, and the Sejong Two-Bedroom Suit. The amenities in common are the giant floor-to-ceiling windows, marbled floors, appealing furnishing, and more.

Book Palace-View Executive Suit; if you want to spend a night out with friends for business, the Ambassador Suit featuring a spacious dining area will be ideal. For a more grand dinner party, hop inside the Sejong Two-Bedroom Suit for another level experience.

Where Italian cuisine lovers can taste the authentic flavors at Boccalino, those who want to enjoy an International buffet just hop inside The Market Kitchen. It doesn’t end at these only, as in Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, you get a significant sum of nine different dining options. Besides offering meeting and event spaces, this hotel can be an ideal venue for a dream wedding.

The hotel’s proximity to the top tourist attractions and the endless amenities are the main contributors to making Four Seasons Hotel Seoul your ultimate accommodation choice.

Four Seasons Seoul is a pinnacle of luxury and hospitality.

Four Seasons Seoul, a haven of luxury and refinement, flawlessly combines modernity with Korean tradition. The architecture and decor pay homage to Korea's rich cultural heritage while exuding contemporary allure. My Deluxe Suite offered stunning city views and a blend of Korean artistry with modern comfort. The plush bedding ensured restful nights, and the marble-clad bathroom, complete with a deep soaking tub and rainfall shower, was a luxurious retreat. Service here is impeccable, with staff treating guests as cherished friends. Their warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism are truly commendable. Culinary delights abound, from the refined Chinese cuisine at Yu Yuan to international offerings at The Market Kitchen. The Michelin-starred Italian restaurant, Boccalino, delivers authentic flavors. The Evian Spa is an oasis of serenity, with signature treatments in a tranquil setting leaving you revitalized. For business travelers, well-appointed meeting and event spaces cater to every corporate need. Centrally located, the hotel offers easy access to Seoul's iconic landmarks, including Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village. In summary, Four Seasons Seoul is a pinnacle of luxury and hospitality, offering an exceptional blend of Korean culture and world-class service. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or seeking a memorable experience, this hotel promises indelible memories.

Everything was very delightful.

Excellent staff, terrific location, really nice quiet room with a killer view.

Top-notch service, great room, and excellent location. All the staff could speak English (the front desk people fluently, the housekeeping staff at least at a basic level). The staff were extremely well-trained, they were attentive, quick to respond, and always helpful. When I pressed the "make up room" button, whenever I returned the room was made up, even if I was only gone for a couple of hours. The concierge and bell service were always helpful in getting a taxi, even on one day that saw a sudden cold snap and when taxis were hard to come by: one doorman asked if I would mind paying a little more for a larger taxi (a minivan), and when I said I wouldn't mind under the circumstances, he called one on his own cellphone, asked us to wait in the warm lobby, and within 5 minutes he came in to tell us that our taxi was here. Although we didn't have any particularly unusual requests, everything we asked for was done quickly, cheerfully and efficiently. The room had a great view of downtown Seoul, and was very quiet - I don't know if there was just no-one in the room beside and across from us, or if the sound insulation was just very good, but I wasn't bothered by noise in the whole week that we stayed there. I asked for a quiet room with a nice view, and they put us on the 29th (top) floor. The location of the hotel, for me, was ideal. It's close (5-10 minutes' easy walk) to the main palaces, metro stations, the main shopping and food areas (Lotte Department Store, Myeongdong food street, Insadong art district), and yet has enough cute little side streets surrounding it, where you can get your fill of authentic Korean food as the locals eat.

Not much to improve, it was an almost perfect stay. The room, while spacious and comfortable in almost every respect, had a strangely small closet/wardrobe arrangement: there wasn't enough room for my wife and I both to hang up our clothes, and only space for 1 suitcase (the other one had to be placed on a rest in the living room). There was also a strange stand-alone pillar to one side of the living room, to hold the TV and keep all the wiring out of sight. Perhaps because it was a corner room, there were limits to what they could do with the room layout.

Very nice hotel with great staff but vastly overpriced

Hotel was modern with a central location

Far too expensive. It wasn’t our first choice, but all others were sold out.

Exceeding our expectations. Club room worth its value!

Great location, very friendly staff and outstanding facilities e.g. fitness/swimming pool. Executive floor is worth the value because of its access to dedicated area!

I can highly recommend this place by location, luxury, room and staff..

location is perfect, we arrived with airport limousine bus for 17.000 won each person, took us around 1h to the hotel, most comfortable way to arrive, bus station is right in front of hotel, so 10meters to walk max. the room is very clean, every staff very attentive and made our stay most comfortable as possible. They have tablets in room, so u can live chat with reception in need of something, and they answer every wish promptly. I

Not sure if bed sheets are changed daily, but have changed after request. no other complains.

Fabulous

We had the small breakfast at Maru. Did not want the big buffet. The other restsuarants akir and yi yuan were fabulous for dinners

Too many kids in the pool. Couldn’t just walk up to pool as in some hotels.

An amazing hotel!

This hotel is amazing. The rooms were comfortable, clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly good and the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was set in a lovely part of the city.

The only thing I didn't like about this hotel was the value for money. For the price, it could have been better and the breakfast buffet was ridiculously overpriced. However, all in all, it was an amazing hotel.
