JW Marriott Hotel Seoul

Seoul’s Central City retreat
VERIFIED LUXURY

There’s beauty in simplicity, and JW Marriott Hotel Seoul embodies that with its spacious, tranquil feel. Once you step through its front door, the pulsing energy of Seoul’s street melts away into a soothing cocoon of dark-paneled wood, low lighting and a sprinkle of interesting art that blends in with the chic, minimalist aesthetic.

The simple yet elegant Central City stay prioritizes style over substance to luxurious effect. The beautiful buffet breakfast offered in the Executive Lounge is well-curated. Rooms aren’t overly adorned, but every single space is meticulously clean and marvelously minimalist. A handful of onsite restaurants offer just enough variety to keep your mouth watering, while a spacious indoor pool provides respite from the bustling city streets outside — though a glass ceiling lets the sun shine through. But if you want to get outside, wander through the garden or sip a cocktail at MOBO Bar’s lush terrace.
