Grand Hyatt Seoul-Korea

Grand Hyatt Seoul
747-7 Hannam 2-Dong, Yongsan-Ku
Seoul, Korea

Those who haven’t traveled in Asia might blanch at the thought of checking in with one of the big Western chains. But they do things a bit differently over there. Anyone who’s seen Lost in Translation can tell you that the Park Hyatt Tokyo, for one, is something more than just your ordinary high-end business hotel — and much the same can be said of this one, the Grand Hyatt Seoul.

For one thing, you haven’t known luxury hotel service until you’ve seen the Far East version. The rooms, though visually understated, are state-of-the-art, containing everything you’d expect from a modern hotel room. Full-length windows take in panoramic views of the city or the mountains, and bathrooms are universally plush, with tubs in every one. Absolute design addicts might be left a bit cold, but for most of us comfort is as important as style.

And as ever it’s not just the quality, but the quantity of the services and facilities as well. The Grand Hyatt Seoul is home to no fewer than nine separate dining and entertainment venues, and along with the spa there’s not just a gym and pool, but the city’s most massive 24-hour fitness complex, Club Olympus, with its indoor and outdoor pools, squash and tennis courts, and even an outdoor ice rink, when weather permits.
