Four Seasons Hotel, Seoul
Expert reviews
“The centrally located Four Seasons Hotel Seoul’s gentle curves pay homage to the eaves of traditional tile-roof homes known as hanok. The hotel offers rooms overlooking Gyeongbokgung Palace and the mountains to the north.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Seoul.
“One of the most luxurious accommodations in Seoul, this location of the Four Seasons boasts several well-reputed restaurants and a state-of-the-art spa in addition to spotless, sunny guest rooms that have panoramic city views.”
“The new 29-story, glass-and-steel Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, designed by Su Sin Tao of Singapore, is meant to look like an ancient Korean palace of old, but stylized and brought into the 21st century.”

All you need to know
A stylish elegance standing right in the heat of Seoul, Korea.
Seoul, the dynamic capital city of South Korea, is lined with a plethora of modern structures, historical monuments, verdant mountains, and more. Just slide aside the curtains and immerse yourself in the picturesque city views looking through floor-to-ceiling windows. Yeah, we are talking about the views from the top-tier rooms of Four Seasons Hotel Seoul!
Just as the name indicates, this contemporary Gwanghwamun Hotel brings the Four Seasons experience to the premises of Korea for the very first time. Here, you can enjoy the world-class pampering facilities at the urban spa, drool over the authentic Cantonese cuisine at Yu Yuan, or be high when sipping explicit drinks at Charles H.
This one-of-a-kind hotel offers five accommodation options, each featuring its own charm. These include the Premier Room, City-View Executive Suit, Ambassador Suit, Palace-View Executive Suit, and the Sejong Two-Bedroom Suit. The amenities in common are the giant floor-to-ceiling windows, marbled floors, appealing furnishing, and more.
Book Palace-View Executive Suit; if you want to spend a night out with friends for business, the Ambassador Suit featuring a spacious dining area will be ideal. For a more grand dinner party, hop inside the Sejong Two-Bedroom Suit for another level experience.
Where Italian cuisine lovers can taste the authentic flavors at Boccalino, those who want to enjoy an International buffet just hop inside The Market Kitchen. It doesn’t end at these only, as in Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, you get a significant sum of nine different dining options. Besides offering meeting and event spaces, this hotel can be an ideal venue for a dream wedding.
The hotel’s proximity to the top tourist attractions and the endless amenities are the main contributors to making Four Seasons Hotel Seoul your ultimate accommodation choice.

A beautiful and well appointed hotel in a good location but let down by early morning noise from protesters lasting for
Excellent location close to subway station. Comfortable and well appointed room. Very friendly and efficient staff with good communication in English.
The early morning noise from protestors on a megaphone directly by the hotel. Started at 7.30am and lasted for at least an hour. Windows not soundproof. No mention of the noise disturbance on hotel website or booking site. Premium room windows directly face a high rise office block therefore privacy reduced unless privacy blinds used. The lobby space is very small with insufficient comfortable chairs for the number of guests wishing to use.

Highly recommend the Four Seasons Seoul for anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay.
I had an incredible stay at the Four Seasons Seoul. The location is amazing close to everything, yet quiet and relaxing. The staff are extremely kind and attentive, always going out of their way to make sure every detail is perfect. The room itself was very spacious, beautifully designed, and comfortable. I especially loved the turndown service, where they left cute eye masks that made the experience even more thoughtful and personal. The service throughout my stay was flawless, everyone was so helpful and welcoming.
Honestly, I can’t think of a single negative point. Everything was perfect from start to finish.

Excellent hotel, meets five star rating. Just needs to update computer online ordering and convenience.
Excellent location, flawless service. Staff fairly good in English speaking
Some awkward layout for the rooms, not enough closet space or drawers. Awkward restaurant reservation making process and room service ordering on line using room iPad needs to be improved or completely changed. Buttom line; Needs better IT dept.

Very clean and comfortable, if you don’t mind to commute by car everyday.

The location is close to the palace, but far from other common shopping attractions, high end shopping strip or medical centers.

Impeccable stay in luxury and comfort!
What can I say? It’s the four seasons. We booked to reward ourselves at the tail end of a S Korea trip. Everything from the service, to the clean rooms, the glorious shower and bathtub, and comfy beds, it was all impeccable!! A little of a splurge but absolutely no regrets. Also very centrally located, and short walk to the subway station.

Quality hotel with excellent staff
Helpfulness of staff - especially Nami who displayed incredible customer service in walking my wife and I around the corner to locate the correct charging device for our phone. Outstanding service.
7 emails leading up to my stay expressing how much the hotel was looking forward to our stay. There is no personal touch in such emails - ‘we can’t wait for you to join us’ etc is so false. Suggest you restrict to one or two max?

I stayed at this hotel with my wife and son. Everything was wonderful. Unfortunately, our 11-year-old son caught a severe cold. The hotel staff was incredibly helpful. A kind young lady from the reception accompanied us to the pharmacy and helped us get the necessary medication. Additionally, the hotel provided free transportation so we could visit a doctor. It was clear that the staff genuinely cared about us. We would like to express our sincere gratitude once again to the Four Seasons hotel and its amazing team.

Very pleasant stay
The reception is very respectful. The room was clean, tidy and convenient. Big wardrobe in the room. All dishes in the room were clean. Great system of in-room dining where you make order via an iPad installed in the room. Also very quick. All meals are very delicious. The location is also very nice. Please keep up the great work!
At the reception during the check-in procedure they ask for a CREDIT card. For some reason the debit card is not good enough. I am not obliged to own a credit card.

Hotel was great. Spacious family room. Staff were lovely (especially Eunsol in the breakfast restaurant who made us feel very welcome). Will definitely stay again. Locations was convenient for the palaces and it was an easy walk to Myeondong.

Four seasons out of four
Everything was amazing.
The protests full of crazy idiots outside ruining our spa day. It's not the hotels fault, obviously. The therapists at the spa are incredible, though. Highly recommend.

Great service, staff a super attentive, interior is new and the rooms are excellent! Breakfast buffet must be one of the best I’ve seen
Nothing. Not much to complain about. Hotel gets pretty busy, but they are well staffed so you are never waiting. The gym is big, but perhaps in the changing room and spa area it can feel a little busy for something that is meant to feel relaxing

Definetely deserves the brands name
The breakfast was perfect, lots of choices, staff well trained dedicated. The concierge team was 10/10, helped me on any requests without saying “No” to anything eventhough I knew some requests were not due them they assisted me perfectly. I was very happy about the stay one of the best hotels I have stayed at.

An extraordinary stay in a great hotel in Seoul
Excellent room, spacious, very well decorated, very nice view from the 22nd floor, well equipped, luxurious bathtab and shower, double washbasins, well isolated. The common spaces of the hotel are very well decorated, including the bars and restaus. The buffet breakfast is very rich and delicious. The staff is very professional and effective. The location is great close to the royal palace, the museum of modern art and a metro station. Nice small restaus around. An excellent hotel.
No complaints. A small detail: decaf capsules for the nespresso machine in the room

An elegant, luxurious property that deserves its 5-star rating. Looking forward to our next stay at The Four Seasons Seo
The room was spacious, the interior well thought out, the bathroom, shower & toilet were laid out smartly and the Diptique toiletries were a nice touch. I like how the small details like the floor mat stays in place when you open the shower door, the flush is automatic when you stand up and the amenities are sustainably crafted. The eye masks were a welcome & unexpected treat! The food in the restaurants we tried were very good and the service of the staff from the front desk to the concierge to the food outlets were exceptional. And the fitness center was just WOW!
The lobby area is rather small so it can get quite busy and loud at times although this does not take away from our overall top notch experience.
