We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

Locally inspired luxury in Seoul

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Our Inspector's Highlights

• Seoul is known for its beauty obsessions and this luxury spa caters to those who require innovative, effective services.

• The hotel is particularly proud of its Um-Yang Ritual, a plant-based treatment that aims to balance the body’s um and yang.

• At The Nail Bar, look out over the city through floor-to-ceiling windows while being attended by a professional nail artist who will use Deborah Lippmann products.

• Nail art is a hot trend internationally, but Koreans take it to a new level with all sorts of wild, exciting and highly detailed manicures — and you can get those dazzling designs here, too.

• All three floors of the Seoul spa are connected by separate flights of stairs, so you don’t need to enter into the hotel lobby dressed in your gym clothes or bathrobe.

Things to Know

• On the 10th floor there are seven private treatment rooms, including one couples room, where you can indulge in a variety of facials, massages, treatments and extended experiences.

• A variety of luxury spa products are used, including Oribe, Claus Porto, Aedes De Venustas, Sodashi and Fedora.

• Pedicures and moisture masks are available at the same time, and there are express options available if you’re in a hurry.

The Treatments

• The My Present of Beauty experience includes a full-body scrub with ginger and Nuruk rice, a head ritual that involves rice milk poured over the forehead, a detoxing massage and Korean pressure-point head massage.

• The Miyeok Slim-Steam-Wrap uses Korean premium plant extracts and essential oils to relieve and reduce stress, improve circulation and lift your spirits overall.

• Massage options include a Thermo-Stone massage, where a mix of stones are warmed and massaged along the body, recommended for relieving fatigue and jetlag.

• Aromatic Balancing is a light-to-medium Swedish massage that uses fragrant oils as a restorative element.

The Facilities

• On the eighth floor is the gym, which affords panoramic views of the city while you work out on high-tech exercise machines.

• The hotel offers group and private training lessons, and there is a juice bar in case you need to refuel.

• The pool is adjacent to the gym and on the ninth floor there is a simulated Golf Experience where you can practice your swing.
