Frommer's "Like W hotels in other cities, Seoul's is the hippest joint in town." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The hippest hotel in town (as all W’s aim to be) occupies an angular, 14-story glass building overlooking the Han River, 30 minutes east of downtown Seoul." Full review
Rough Guide "With artfully designed furniture in the rooms, neon gym rings in the elevators, sharp-suited staff and a loungey beat pulsing through the lobby, every inch of it is achingly trendy."
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"In contrast to the copious cement high-rises quickly slapped up after the war, this 252-room all-glass hotel combines space-age playfulness with Zen tranquillity." Full review
Michelin Guide "Fashionable and chic, the rooms are spacious and the design innovative."
Afar Magazine "Starwood’s W Hotel chain is known for its contemporary style and design, and the W Seoul-Walkerhill is no exception." Full review
Lonely Planet "Formerly the W Seoul, the trademark pinks have given way to more restrained whites and greys at this elegantly rebranded, high-tech hotel perched on a hillside in the far east of the city." Full review
Time Out "The all-new Vista Walkerhill promotes "sustainable luxury" and it can be felt upon entering the lobby complete with an 800-year-old olive tree." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"High-tech hotel perched on a hillside in the far east of the city. It's a good place to get away from it all, especially at Skyard, a terrace with sun loungers, spa pools and gorgeous views" Full review
Michelin Guide "The first W hotel in Asia would have to be impressive, and this one certainly is—the W Seoul is an eye-catching sculpture in blue glass, in something of a unique setting, alongside the Han river, at the foot of Mount Acha, on the grounds of the semi-rural Walkerhill hotel and casino complex" Full review
