We love Four Seasons Hotel Seoul for its breathtaking views over the city, including views of Gyeongbokgung. The exceptional staff consistently go above and beyond. The atmosphere is incredibly tranquil, despite the buzz of guests visiting from all around the world. It is also worth slipping downstairs for a cocktail at Charles H, a hidden cocktail bar voted as one of the best bars in Asia.

The hotel is set in Seoul’s Gwanghwamun district, within easy walking distance of Gyeongbokgung and the National Folk Museum of Korea, where expansive palace grounds and historic exhibitions offer a strong introduction to the city’s royal past. The atmospheric lanes of Bukchon Hanok Village are also nearby, with traditional hanok houses, small galleries and teahouses set along quiet hillside streets.
