THE PLAZA Seoul, Autograph Collection

As a titanium member of Bonvoy, I have stayed at many hotels over the years and normally receive small welcome items such as fruit, chocolates, or a welcome card. However, l booked this hotel by four rooms with two suites with paid (not free upgrade, l booked in advanced) On this occasion there was nothing — no welcome gift and no welcome card. I believe this is the first time this has happened to me. Before arrival I sent several emails with the hotel to request the best possible arrangements for our stay, but those requests were not fulfilled. During the first few days at the hotel I spent a lot of time discussing and resolving basic arrangements with staff, including buffet timings, room allocations, and access to the executive lounge. This was stressful and not what I expected given the pre-arrival communications. Most importantly, this stay was intended to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, which was why I chose this hotel. On the birthday itself the hotel had not prepared any gift, decorations, or even a simple birthday card. I was surprised and disappointed that the hotel did not offer any small gesture for a child’s birthday. And this is also a Christmas Day We were a party of 12, including elderly relatives and children; there was not even a small chocolate or Christmas gift for guests. Curiously, I observed staff presenting gifts (including the hotel plush mascot) to other guests, while I had to purchase the hotel plush myself as a three-piece set. This inconsistent treatment felt very unthoughtful.

Excellent experience except in sauna unpleasant woman who was shouting nonsense who looks like a fitness member . I was so disappointed about level of fitness members . Due to her I ruined my sauna experience. Except that, alol excellent!!

Stayed at the Plaza Hotel in Seoul for 4 nights. The hotel is very conveniently located in the centre of town opposite the Seoul City Hall/Gwanghwamun area. Room is spacious and has a great view of City Hall and Deoksuk Palace. Hotel is connected to subway lines 1 and 2 as well. Will stay again.

A lovely property next to the subway station and across from the Palace. Wonderful room, excellent food, good staff. Would stay here again just for these reasons. But here's the kicker. We are fitness enthusiasts and would have found it hard to imagine a better facility than the one we belong to at home, but boy did the Plaza Seoul's fitness facility deliver the Wow factor. Four levels nicely organized, equipped, and clean, with dedicated areas for different types of exercise from cardio to swimming to stretching, even golf practice areas. The changing rooms offered freshly laundered exercise clothes (including socks!), lockers with ample storage, col/hot/really hot whirlpools, steam rooms, dry saunas, and showers. Plenty of room to get dressed and primped, with provided amenities and large mirrors with individually equipped sections. Truly amazing. The lobby smelled so good we had to purchase the signature essential oils to enjoy at home.

I've stayed here for work several times. The pool and spa area are really nice, the rooms feel a bit tired and in need of a renovation, but breakfast was very good. I would consider staying again!
