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

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
