Park Hyatt Seoul is a masterpiece of minimalist luxury located in the heart of the prestigious Gangnam district. Designed by the renowned Japanese studio Super Potato, the hotel is housed in a sleek, glass-encased tower that emphasizes natural materials like wood, stone, and steel. Its “lobby in the sky” on the 24th floor is a signature feature, offering guests breathtaking, panoramic views of the sprawling Seoul skyline the moment they arrive.
The interior design creates an intimate, residential feel, moving away from the typical grand hotel aesthetic. One of the property’s most striking elements is the expansive, spa-inspired bathrooms found in every room. These sanctuaries, which often take up a significant portion of the guest suite, feature deep soaking tubs and are crafted from beautifully cut granite, reflecting a deep respect for the Korean bathing ritual.
For leisure, the 24th-floor infinity pool is a standout attraction. Designed so that the water appears to merge with the sky, it is particularly magical at sunset when the city lights begin to twinkle below. The hotel also boasts a sophisticated collection of local Korean antiques and artworks, grounding the high-tech, modern architecture in traditional cultural roots.
The hotel’s location is incredibly convenient for visitors, sitting just steps away from Samseong Station and the massive Starfield COEX Mall. Nearby, guests can easily explore the tranquil Bongeun Temple, a serene Buddhist site that offers a quiet contrast to the vibrant energy of Gangnam’s shopping and business districts.
Expert reviews
“The 185-room Park Hyatt Seoul occupies a 24 -story glass-and-steel building in the central Gangnam district. Floor-to-ceiling windows, warm wood finishes and granite baths outfit its spacious, modern rooms.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Seoul.
“Among the glistening skyscrapers of the Gangnam district, Park Hyatt Seoul is a discreet resident — its presence so subtle, it’s easy to miss. The porte cochère, tucked away from the street, creates an entrance that is free of fanfare.”
“Park Hyatt Seoul maintains a low profile, considering its impeccable offerings and great service. All rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows — even the bathrooms — while the swimming pool at the top of the building is a work of art with shiny glass walls and great view of Gangnam.”
“Spacious open-plan rooms are glassed in with floor-to-ceiling windows that boast city views and come with luxurious bathrooms classed among the best in Asia.”
“The ultra-chic, urban five-star Park Hyatt Seoul is slap bang in the middle of Seoul’s thriving and desirable Gangnam business district. This emblematic glass-walled hotel offers superb facilities including three restaurants and a fully equipped spa along with unrivalled client service.”

Best stay in Seoul!
This was the most amazing stay! I surprised my Fiancée with a trip for her Birthday. She was extremely pleased with our stay. The employees were so sweet. They wished her a happy birthday. They were accommodating to all of our needs. Amazing hospitality! The room was immaculate with the perfect view of the city. The amenities were amazing. Our favorite was the Timber House. We love live music and every performance was amazing. They even sang Happy Birthday to my Fiancée. Big thanks to Larry, the bartender there. He curated the best cocktails and made our nights with his amazing energy. Very foreigner friendly. We’ve stayed at a few hotels in Seoul. Overall this was by far the best! We will be back.

Perfect stay at Park Hyatt Seoul
I like that it was clean, location was perfect (easy 10 min walk to Coex mall), service was impeccable . Everyone from the bell service to the concierge, reception and the duty manager were very willing to please and go above and beyond what is expected to delight the guest.

Gangnam is an odd area - save your money and stay in a nice area of Seoul
Very clean - housekeeping are super efficient
Asked reception about the bus to the airport. They might have been confused by my question and directed me to the taxi service downstairs. Spent the evening finding out where the limousine bus service went from in Coex and how to get tickets. There is information on the hotel website and it would have been useful to have been shown this.

Work and fun at the same time staying in the Park Hyatt.
Location close to the convention center, home away from home.
Cant think of any.

Perfect hotel for Gangnam side of the city
Location and rooms. I stayed here 10 years ago and the hotel is extremely well maintained.
Transferring lifts from lobby to rooms were a hassle.

DO NOT EVER SPEND ON THIS HOTEL. Worst PARK HYATT EVER.
Nothing went well. it was a nightmare.
I recently stayed at Park Hyatt Seoul for 9 nights, booking one of their suites with the expectation of a peaceful, luxurious experience. Unfortunately, what I received was far from the standard one would expect from a Park Hyatt property.
After confirming my reservation and paying a premium, I was informed—via a generic note—that there would be elevated noise levels due to nearby underground construction. This important detail was not shared prior to booking, which feels incredibly misleading.
Despite voicing my concerns, the hotel offered no meaningful compensation, upgrade, or gesture of goodwill. For a long-term guest in a high-end suite, this lack of consideration was deeply disappointing.
The Park Hyatt name carries a reputation for refined service and guest care, but this experience fell short on both. I strongly urge future guests to check about the ongoing construction before booking—and reconsider if you're expecting peace and quiet.

The hotel does not represent good value for money and the IHG is better located being next to Coex.
The room was excellent and attractive. It was very clean. The concierge staff were very helpful and attentive.
I asked for an early check in due to my flight. I had a response agreeing to that which magically disappeared when i arrived. My room was not ready until 6pm! Very poor given the expense of the room. I was given a temporary room but I wanted to unpack. The reception staff often did not appear to understand me. The service at reception was only okay. I normally stay at the IHG but unfortunately it was fully booked due to Frieze and Kiaf. The lift system was annoying. The breakfast on Level 2 was not great relative to expense of the hotel.

An impressive hotel in a great location
Great staff and loved The Timber Room and the room service was great. Great views and very clean. Incredibly kind and courteous staff from valets to check in and cleaning staff. Great ssamgyupsal restaurant around the corner and Bas Burger! Hyundai Mall and Koex across the street. Vibrant and great neighborhood
Construction out front (not the fault of the hotel), very small entrance to check in lobby which is on the 24th floor. Having to go up and then down to guest rooms but the staff gave me a card key to access room directly from lobby, which was much appreciated as I am recovering from spinal surgery and had a mobility scooter

My stay was amazing. However, I’m feeling somewhat sad because I was unable to spend my entire planned vacation due to u
Great customer service. The staff were phenomenal. Housekeeping was on point. Overall Park Hyatt is extremely clean. The bed was comfortable. The view from my room was amazing.
The property itself was perfect except for the constant banging from the street construction site. This has nothing to do with Park Hyatt Hotel because government work has to be done as per order.

Luxury in a quiet part of Gangnam.
Loved the gym, it had great views from the 22nd floor. All staff were so helpful. Very clean and comfortable and large room.
The bath was amazing, and had a great view.
I loved that the subway entrance was right outside.
Expensive, but we got what we paid for.

Felt like home.
Great architecture. Displayed pretty lovely art pieces. Room was really comfortable, you get abundance of natural light.
Service was great. So as room keeping.
The trainee named Lee Ya help us so much throughout from the guidance to explanation. It made our stay much ‘homely’.
Lift waiting time might be a lil longer.
I do believe English proficiency could be much better for some staff.

Good location. Great staff. Thank you for the pleasant experience.
Samseong subway station right in front of the hotel entrance.
Very close to a few shopping centers, cafes and convenient stores.
Room was spacious and with good view, a bit noisy but understandable from the floor to ceiling windows, which we were warned about.
Staff at the hotel was very helpful.
Had some minor connectivity issues with streaming through WiFi.
Having to change elevators to get to the rooms from the entrance was also a minor hassle.
