5 Stars Hotels in Seoul

Seoul is a city of contrasts from its traditional culture to modern and edgy scene, historic buildings to contemporary skyscrapers, and typical Korean cuisine to fusion fine dining. It is the most popular holiday destination in Korea with plenty to offer all types of overseas visitors.

No matter what your budget, there are a plethora of accommodation options in Seoul including 5-star properties. In fact, there are over 20 five-star hotels in Seoul, most of which are big name brands that boast fine dining restaurants, swimming pools, business centres, and gyms. Of these properties, the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul and Lotte Hotel Seoul are two of the most highly rated 5-star hotels in Seoul.

The JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul sits in Seoul’s Jongno-gu. It has been the centre of the city for over 600 years. It is a modern property both inside and out, boasting views overlooking the old eastern gate of the city. Guests can enjoy its tranquil spa, indoor pool, fitness centre, and wine and dine in one of its five venues—one of which is a renowned steak house.

The Lotte Hotel Seoul is just steps away from Lotte Department Store, Seoul International Finance Center, Seoul Plaza, and Seoul City Hall in the Namdaemun neighbourhood. This five-star Seoul hotel boasts over 1,000 well-appointed guest rooms with fantastic views of the city. It also features a spa, a fitness centre, an indoor pool, and an indoor golf range. Guests can dine in one of its five elegant restaurants and sip cocktails in one of its three trendy bars. It is also a great place to host a meeting or special event.

A little bit further out of the city centre is the W Seoul Walkerhill, an ultra-chic Seoul five-star hotel that sits along the north banks of the Han River in the Gwangjin District. This area does not see a lot of tourists, though it does have a vibrant nightlife scene. The W Seoul Walkerhill’s two bars are the hottest spots in the neighbourhood. Gangnam’s InterContinental Seoul COEX is also a good choice when it comes to five-star hotels in Seoul with its trendy restaurants, private limousine service, and tastefully decorated rooms and suites.
