About this hotel
General information
Four Seasons Hotel Seoul occupies a glass tower in Gwanghwamun, where the city’s business district meets its old palace quarters. Its 317 rooms, 32 of them suites, all have floor-to-ceiling windows and white Italian-marble bathrooms, with interiors that set Korean silks, ceramics and nature motifs against clean contemporary lines. More than 160 contemporary artworks hang across the rooms and public spaces.
Dining is the hotel’s strongest suit: eight restaurants and bars cover Cantonese, Italian and Japanese cooking, with the cocktail bars tucked away on the lower level. Three floors are given over to the gym, pools, Korean sauna and spa; Club Room guests use the Executive Club Lounge for evening cocktails and a light supper, and indoor and outdoor spaces host receptions and meetings.
Location
The hotel sits in Jongno, at the very centre of Seoul: Gyeongbokgung Palace is a few blocks away, Bukchon Hanok Village and Cheonggyecheon Stream are within walking distance, and the Myeong-dong shopping district is close by. Gwanghwamun subway station (Line 5) is a three-minute walk and the airport bus stop a minute from the door. Incheon International Airport is 59 km away (about 1 hour 20 minutes by car) and Gimpo Airport 23 km (about an hour); the hotel arranges airport meet-and-greet and limousine transfers.
Spa
The Korean-inspired spa pairs old rituals with modern therapies: facial and body treatments built on native botanicals, seaweed detox treatments, signature massages, a couples’ ritual and a Turkish hammam. The Korean sauna has cold, warm and hot baths, dry and wet sauna rooms and a lounge with beds for an afternoon nap and views over the palace; Korean body scrubs are available for a fee. A Nail Bar and a traditional barbershop complete the floor.
Sports & leisure
The 815 m² gym spreads over three floors and is open around the clock, with cardio and weight machines, a Pilates studio, a group exercise room, a stretching zone, personal trainers and private yoga sessions. On the 10th floor, golf simulators with five 3D screens recreate well-known courses around the world. The concierge arranges walking and themed tours of Seoul, a visit to Changdeokgung Palace and its garden, day trips to Gyeongju and Busan, and cooking classes such as kimchi making.
For children
The Kids For All Seasons Lounge runs themed play sessions and cooking classes in English at weekends and on public holidays, by reservation and for a fee. Younger children have their own plunge pool, and a play tent can be set up in the room on request.

They are complimentary for hotel guests, the pool is reserved for adults in the late evening, and swimming lessons with an instructor can be booked.
