"Like W hotels in other cities, Seoul's is the hippest joint in town." Full review

"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

"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

"Fashionable and chic, the rooms are spacious and the design innovative."

"Starwood’s W Hotel chain is known for its contemporary style and design, and the W Seoul-Walkerhill is no exception." Full review

"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

"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

"This 35-story contemporary hotel, connected to the COEX Mall and the subway, caters to the area's business travelers." Full review

"For those who don't mind being a few subway stops away from Seoul's more popular areas, the JW Marriott is a good mix of class and convenience." Full review

"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."

"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."

"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
