Fodor's Expert Review JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul

279 Cheonggyecheon-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Seoul, South Korea Fodor's Choice

The prime location across from Heunginjimun Gate along with luxurious amenities make the neighborhood’s only 5-star hotel worth the splurge. Serene, minimalist rooms and suites contrast with the bustling scenes of Dongdaemun Square out the floor-to-ceiling windows. A highlight is the marble-clad indoor pool area that has a fireplace and three sparkly chandeliers making it feel positively palatial.

  • indulgent spa
  • kids’ pool and seasonal children’s activities for families

CONS
