Grand Ambassador Seoul

I visited with my girlfriend and was able to check in easily as there was someone at the front desk who spoke English. I requested an air purifier and humidifier for my room due to a sore throat, and they were very accommodating. We were assigned a room with a view of Namsan, and the night view was beautiful.

I recently returned to Korea after being abroad and stayed at a hotel. Upon arrival, I was welcomed by media art displayed on the first floor. The concierge and front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. I also used the swimming pool on the basement level, and it was quite peaceful with not many people around, making it a great spot to relax.

It is a revolution by the God (Shin) of Buffet, the F&B director in Ambassador Seoul – a Pullman Hotel. Now he challenges his upscaled fine dining. For the last 34 years, he was with JW Marriott Seoul and Hotel Shilla, and now is the Pride of the Ambassador Hotel Group, as Cluster Executive Chef. From his experiences, there are many records, such as developing more than 1200 dishes and establishing my favorite buffet restaurant, Flavors at JW Marriott Seoul. His staffs call him Mr. Again (다시해) because he seeks Perfectionism. From his creative cuisine, I can feel his confidence. From his face, I can feel Enthusiasm and Devotion. His challenging journey of flavors starts with: Trio Amuse-Bouche (트리오 아뮤즈 부쉬) with Crab Meat Cone, Truffle Mushroom Foie Grass and his signature, Egg Custard Mousse. Especially the cone and egg cuisines are divine! Sour-vide Lobster & Sea Urchin Tofu, Caviar (수비드 랍스터와 성게두부, 캐비어): Sea Urchin Tofu presents very different palate, very tasty! Luxurious ingredients are also wonderful! Signature Bread (시그니처빵): Don’t know why it is a signature bread without trying it. Impressive! In Top Tongyeong Oyster Chowder Soup (통영 삼배채굴 차우더 수프): It is good with deep flavor from the soup, even though the Oyster might be a little bit fishy for me, a real Oyster lover. Fillet of Mero with Assorted Roe Vin Blanc Sauce (메로찜) Shine Muscat Sherbet (샤인머스캣 셔벗): It is very wise idea to add Shine Muscat in between because it is very helpful against fishy smell or greasiness. Lamb Chop with Herbs Sauce (허브소스 양갈비) Akaushhi Wagyu Short Rib (와규 아까우시 진갈비살 구이): It is tender and juicy. Very delectable. It is the dish which can tempt even the jaded palate of the most meat-lover. Strawberry, Valrhona Chocolate Mousse Cake (딸기, 초콜릿무스) with Coffee I really enjoy this upscaled fine dining in this wonderful property, Ambassador Seoul - A Pullman Hotel

good Service, a good location, since we arrived everything was excellent. We are happy to stay at this hotel.

I’m currently staying at this hotel. Very modern hotel. Good location. However, as others have pointed out, the temperature control for the rooms are not adequate. There is a free pool and an extra pool/sauna that costs $35-45 USD each PER DAY, which is not great for a so called 5* hotel. Laundry is 18 USD for single pair of pants which is also very expensive. Additionally, there was a note in our room regarding renovations and noise during our stay which were not made aware of prior to or after booking, only upon arrival into our room. I hope that whilst I am still at the property that they are able to remedy the situation and my review may change depending on the situation.
