Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

Spacious rooms with excellent facilities. Great location with close proximity to Gyeonbokgung Palace and to the start of Cheonggyecheon stream. Excellent breakfast with a huge range of breakfast options available to suit any palate. They even had churros and a chocolate fountain although we did not test these. Cute robots moving the used crockery around at breakfast. We had room service one evening and also bulgogi in the lounge bar on another occasion. Both meals were excellent.

From the moment we booked the trip, the Four Seasons staff were more than helpful in providing out of hotel food and activity recommendations. They picked us up in a BMW 7 Series with my name, with Champagne and Macaroons waiting at our arrival. The check in process was surreal. So easy. So efficient. The staff were always available and attentive. From the gym to using the town car for our adventures, they accommodated to our every need. Our room had an amazing view of the Grand Palace, it was always clean and very fresh. The bed was so comfortable. The room was state of the art, well furnished. The Four Seasons lobby is an art gallery. It smells absolutely wonderful as well. It’s rare to walk into an establishment and have a memory be how amazing the aroma was at that time. We will only stay at the Four Seasons when visiting Seoul.

The second room was meticulously clean; the housekeeping staff did a fantastic job! The spa treatments- massage and facial, were exceptional thanks to excellent therapists Luna and Moon. I loved the sauna, and the scrub specialist there was superb. I am happy to see Four Seasons Seoul taking the initiative to eliminate disposable toiletries to protect the environment. I felt less guilty and started to carry around reusable toiletries. The executive lounge was filled with various delicious goodies and snacks. It's like having a big mini-bar for my leisure. The room service was excellent in both presentation and taste. All the staff at FSS made my stay memorable. Your dedicated service and selfless hard work make FSS an exceptional healing place in a beautiful city. Sorry for being a demanding customer. Yet I'm amazed you never fail to meet the high standard. THE BEST place and people ever!

We spent four nights in this property first impressions are quite good ,with a large and attractive reception hall ,we arrived late in the evening so there wasn’t a luggage porter outside to greet us , so we had to go inside the hotel to find assistance .The check in however was very friendly efficient and professional as ultimately was the baggage handling .The room (1806) was spacious and included all the usual amenities , including espresso machine ,walk in closet etc . The bathroom reflects the room and is tastefully appointed there is an excellent rain shower with very pleasant pump action toiletries other items such as toothbrushes are also available but are chargeable as per a mini bar system which is apparently a planet saving initiative REALLY !!!!!! More likely a dollar saving exercise . Housekeeping is as expected ,providing a very clean room with good quality bright white linen and towels . There is a breakfast option available ($50 per person per day ) I don’t know if it’s good or not as we didn’t take advantage of it .Additionally facilities include an indoor pool , golf range , magnificent gym and spa . In short this is our first experience of the four seasons , normally staying at the mandarine oriental or Ritz Carlton at least two or three times a year ,because of the irritating toothbrush charge we would never stay at a four seasons property again .it sounds petty I know but that’s how we felt.

My stay was simply flawless from the beginning - airport pick-up - to the end, and worth every Won spent! I recommend you try both bars (one classic, the other one Korean), and if you fancy some change from local food, the Italian Restaurant. Excellent Breakfast with super attentive staff. Oh, and not to forget the well stocked wine store, should you fancy a nightcap in the room. A subway station is a short stroll away, so are plenty of restaurants. The FS will definitely be my choice again when returning to Seoul in the not too distant future.
