Fodor's "While the Park Hyatt is located away from the main tourist areas north of the river, with rooms like these it's hard to see any reason to leave." Full review

"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."
Star Service "Near the Olympic Stadium and a Korean temple, the property appeals to business guests who have little need to be downtown amid the tourists.

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.
Travel + Leisure "For special requests, the hotel will organize a whiskey-tasting class (for groups of up to six people) at the on-site restaurant, Timber House." Full review

Ask for a room above the 15th floor facing the river for spectacular views.
Rough Guide "It proudly claims to have the biggest bathrooms in Korea, though the rooms are otherwise bland, and occasionally patchy service means that they’re not really worth the money."
Michelin Guide "This luxury hotel provides top quality service close to the shopping malls of Central City. The most spacious rooms, recently renovated, have views over the river or to the mountains."
Star Service "This 34-story metal and glass building sits in the center of the Kangnam district on the south side of Seoul, known as a business area and for its nightlife." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Travelers who don't mind being a few metro stops from attractions or the city center will find a quality stay." Full review

Forbes Travel Guide "The simple yet elegant Central City stay prioritizes style over substance to luxurious effect...rooms aren’t overly adorned, but every single space is meticulously clean and marvelously minimalist." Full review
