63 Best Hotels in Seoul, South Korea

Opened in late 2024, the Voco hotel is a four-star accommodation beloved for its location just minutes outside of Hoehyeon Station and its views of the Namsan Tower. The aesthetic of the rooms are generally white, with hints of purple, blue, and yellow. The hotel also has a fitness center with an indoor pool and a business center accessible to guests 24 hours a day. There are 576 rooms, so it may attract large tour groups and the lobby may be a bit hectic during check-in. The Voco is perfect for visitors looking to shop in nearby Namdaemun Market and Myeongdong, but late-night explorers may find the neighborhood a bit empty at night. 

Thanks to frequent renovations, excellent staff, and an understanding of the needs of 21st century travelers, Korea's very first luxury hotel has long been one of its best. Rooms are not as spacious as similarly priced hotels, but most are elegant and comfortable. While the Westin Josun's frequent renovations means that rooms are generally new and in excellent shape, some older rooms are less than what one would expect from this price range. The hotel has several in-house dining options, including a well-reputed deli, and has a fitness center, swimming pool, and sauna as well. It's not the most dramatic of Seoul's downtown luxury hotels, but the Westin Josun is a good choice for those seeking a hotel with a long history of comfort and excellent service.

If you find yourself on an extended business trip or traveling with family in Yeouido, this serviced apartment hotel is a good option; its studios and 1- to 3-bedroom apartments have full kitchens and washer/dryers to provide a homey feel, but amenities like a spa, an indoor pool, and a restaurant with a nice wine selection give it that distinctive “holiday” vibe. As with many other Yeouido hotels, it’s set in a sleek high-rise and has scenic views of Yeouido Saetgang Ecological Park.
