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." Full review
Lonely Planet "A name like this raises expectations, but they are all met at Seoul’s most luxurious hotel." Full review
Jetsetter "A luxurious five-star stay at a grand, European-style hotel with sauna and rooftop golf course, located in the stylish Gangnam area - breakfast included." Full review
