"A discreet entrance... sets the Zen minimalist tone for this gorgeous property... luxurious bathrooms that have quite rightly been classed among the best in Asia." Full review
Rough Guide "First things first: this is Seoul’s best hotel. Designed in its entirety by Japanese firm Super Potato, its class will already be evident by the time you’ve entered the lobby."
Condé Nast Traveler "This slender 24-story glass tower in the Gangnam business and shopping district is decorated in stone, Burmese oak, and dark maple." Full review
Michelin Guide "A luxury hotel in the heart of the business district. The well-designed rooms have large picture windows, and the bathrooms have a view too."

If you're sensitive to noise, you may want to request a room facing away from the main street, since not all rooms have great soundproof windows.

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
