Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

Four Seasons never fail. There’s a reason Four Seasons is always top for hotel accommodations. We spent our one year wedding anniversary here at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul in October 2025 and we booked our stay through Amex FHR. It was a pleasant stay and although we had a minor issue with our room’s air conditioning not working, they promptly came up to check and fix after I call for help. And they also provided a Dyson fan to help cool the room in the meantime. We had a wonderful time at the Seafood Dinner buffet, one of the best buffet we’ve ever experienced! And breakfast was no exception, it was amazing! I paid for club access and the club lounge was very nice up at the 28th floor. Plenty of tables to sit with great view all around and delicious food and snacks. Gym was very nice, modern and spacious. Pool was spacious as well. Plenty of restaurant options at the hotel. Location is prime! In the heart of Seoul as my Korean wife says. I want to shoutout Leo Han from Guest Service management, I had some issue and he was able to resolve my issue and I’m very glad and thankful. It made our experience with Four Seasons even better! And others who help in response. I highly recommend this Four Seasons Hotel Seoul for anyone visiting Korea, or at least try their buffet at The Market Kitchen, it was amazing!!

Not a Kid Friendly Hotel! Not a Vegetarian Friendly Hotel! It was not an experience we would expect from a "prestigious" hotel chain. The staff would say no to more things than I could imagine. We went for breakfast and they would give us small side portion of oatmeal for the kids so we had to ask for more multiple times. They said they could not pack the food to allow us to eat in the room after taking 30-45 minutes to make it and our kids getting restless because they were hungry. So we had to go back to the room and do room service that took another 1 hour. For a hotel to make kids wait 2 hours to get their breakfast is unheard of. And they had no good vegetarian options for us that were not cross contaminated with the non-veg. So we had to get yogurt and rice for our kids dinners, which they overcharged significantly but gave us such little portions so we had to order multiple of both. The room cleaning was poorly done, despite us having separated our stuff we needed and the trash and still they did not take away any dirty dishes or the trash. Conceirge gave us recommendations of Starbucks for coffee shops instead of local places. They did not have good knowledge of cafes and restaurants for us. And the worst was when I asked them if they could get a cake and flowers for my wifes birthday and leave it in the room while we were out. They said yes to getting the cake but we never got it. They did not even bother wishing her a Happy Birthday when we checked out. I explained all the things that happened and there was no acknowledgement from the management about our experience till I had to reach out to the Four Seasons Chain itself. The swimming pool was kid friendly and the golf simulator was nice but it was in Korean and they could not change the language. It was not a personable experience and they definitely dropped the ball multiple times. Not what you expect from a luxury hotel chain and not a place I would want to go with kids. Save your money and stay at a different Luxury hotel.

I had a fantastic stay at the Four Seasons Seoul. Service was impeccable, personalized throughout my 4-night stay, and up to the Four Seasons standard. The staff remembered my name and were welcoming, friendly, proficient in English, and consistently checked in with me via text. The hotel is located centrally for tourist activities and is conveniently near the subway station. My room was modern, spacious, and immaculately clean. The bed was comfortable and the decor throughout the hotel created an elegant ambiance. The blackout shades and excellent noise isolation in my room allowed me to sleep well. I also had an amazing view of the city. The breakfast buffet was a highlight for me every morning. It has an amazing selection of food, ranging from Western to Asian cuisines (Japanese, Korean, Chinese). The dessert and pastry sections were extensive; there is even a gluten-free pastry section. To top everything off, there is a grand chocolate fountain dip. One of my favorite hotel activities was having drinks at the Charles H Bar, which has a Prohibition-era speakeasy vibe. The drinks are creative and tasty small bites are offered. I felt like I was transported back to the 1920s while inside this bar. The hotel spa offers excellent services and allowed me to full unwind after a full day of activity. I recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a 5-star experience! I will certainly be staying at Four Seasons Seoul again when I return.

Really looked forward to coming back after staying here in May last year. This time we got a room upgrade to city view executive suite which was very spacious and on high floor with a great view. The rooms here are very cosy and exudes warmth. The bed is comfortable but I found the pillows too soft but I had bought a special pillow when I was staying in a previous hotel and used it here. With the curtains all up in the day and night we could see the street view so clearly and it was indeed a great sight. However, during the stay, there were a series of peaceful protests and loud noise could be heard from our room but luckily it was still bearable. One of the highlights of the hotel is the club lounge food. Never fails to impress. We could taste food from the different restaurants in the hotel, like sushi, soup from the Chinese restaurant, pasta, finger foods. We had dinner every day at the lounge throughout our 4 nights' stay and wowed by the variety. Staff in the main restaurant for breakfast and in the lounge are all prompt in service. Same goes to the staff at Akira and Yu Yuan. Enjoyed all their food. Had massage at the spa and was pleasantly surprised to receive a birthday gift. Also received a signature candle and stuff toy upon check-in for my birthday. Swam in the pool. The lanes were marked so no concerns of cutting into each others' lanes. Checked out with ease. Staff asked to take a seat till counter is clear. She asked if we had transport to the airport. Indeed attentive. Four Seasons' service standards is consistently high. Well done 👍

This was an amazing stay. We arrived at 6am and were told a room would be available but I couldn’t be upgraded to a larger room (through Amex) since it was so early. But I was perfectly happy to even have a room so early in the morning. The room was comfortable and had a great view. The staff at reception was always pleasant and never failed to say ‘welcome back’ whenever we arrived. On the way out they always asked if there was anything we needed (restaurant recommendation, taxi etc.) Special mention goes to Ashely (who worked the night shift) and always helped us by answering many questions about the area and the hotel. The guys at main door were also all very pleasant and helpful. The bed is comfortable and something I looked forward to after a lot of daily walking. The shower was great, the water pressure and temperature were a dream and I was able to enjoy the tub one night. If I’m being nitpicky I wish the salt packet provided was a bit bigger. The water closet is nice and I loved the bidet and heated toilet seat. This area is less touristy and more business-like but if you prefer some space and separation from all the action, this hotel is a great choice. There are plenty of places to eat within walking distance and walking around was enjoyable. I would love to return to Seoul and wouldn’t hesitate to stay in the FS again.
