The Plaza Seoul, Autograph Collection is one of the most centrally located hotels in Seoul, making it an ideal base for exploring the city. With Myeong-dong, Cheonggyecheon, Namsan, Gwanghwamun, and Deoksugung Palace all within walking distance, the hotel's location is unbeatable.

After having a wonderful stay in March for our wedding anniversary, I’ve already booked a New Year's Eve stay, as the area offers numerous exciting New Year's Eve events.

Situated directly in front of Seoul City Hall Plaza, the hotel is well-known for having the best view of Seoul City Hall. Staying here means you’re at the center of major city events, and the nighttime views from the hotel are absolutely stunning.

 

Floor guide (main Building)

Since joining Marriott International's Autograph Collection in January 2016, the hotel has become even more sophisticated and upscale. The lobby is beautifully decorated, often featuring fresh flowers, adding an elegant touch to the atmosphere.

One unique benefit of staying at The Plaza Seoul is that guests receive free entry tickets to Deoksugung Palace, which is located right across the street. Be sure to bring your complimentary ticket with you when visiting!

 

The Plaza Hotel Premier Suite #2061

The Premier Suite does not offer a City Hall view, only the Deluxe Rooms overlook City Hall, but they tend to be smaller in size for a five-star hotel.

From our suite, we had a great view of Namsan Tower and the city skyline.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with welcome cookies, a bottle of champagne, and cheese, a thoughtful touch. We also celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary with a small cake we bought ourselves.

 

Room

The suite includes a living room and bedroom, but I found them to be on the smaller side for a five-star suite. That being said, the bed was incredibly comfortable, featuring a high-quality mattress, a detail that truly sets luxury hotels apart.

 

Bathroom

Molton Brown toiletries – a luxurious touch.

 

Floor L & LL 

The L and LL floors house several convenient facilities, including a lounge, store, and gift shop.

 

 

Pool & Fitness (located in the annex building)

The swimming pool, gym, and spa are located in a separate annex building, which isn’t the most convenient to access from the main hotel. However, you can reach the annex via an underground passage on the LL floor.

Locker keys are available on the 16th floor. Women’s sauna is on the 15th floor, while the men’s sauna is on the 16th floor

​

Fitness center & golf driving range are on the 17th floor, great for those looking to get some light exercise

​

The whirlpool spa was a highlight, perfect for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing. Whether in the daytime sunshine or the evening city lights, the pool area offers a serene escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.

While accessing the annex building wasn’t the most convenient, the overall experience at The Plaza Seoul was fantastic. Given its luxury, location, and comfort, I can’t wait to return for New Year's Eve!
