Rough Guide
"Don’t be fooled by the cheesy stylings of the lobby; rooms are almost unbearably opulent, filled with antique lamps, oil paintings and other mementos of the owner’s... trips abroad."
Michelin Guide
"An upmarket hotel with extravagant decor, defined as "the elegance of antique European style"."
Fodor's
"For a decidedly Korean take on a lavish European hotel, look no further than the Imperial Palace."
