Pamper yourself in the spa, dance the night away at popular club JJ Mahoney’s or swim in the excellent outdoor pool which, come winter, is turned into an ice rink.
Rough Guide "Perched on a hill overlooking Itaewon, almost every room has a fantastic view through floor-to-ceiling windows."
Michelin Guide "A classic among the large Seoul hotels. The renovated rooms are preferable, as they are more stylish.The only downside is that it is a long way from any subway station."
Star Service "This reliable hotel occupies a towering position overlooking the city and the Han River on 18 acres atop Mount Namsan." Full review
