The Best Hotels in the World: 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards

"Stretching from the 76th to the 101st floor of Lotte World Tower, the all-suite Signiel Seoul overlooks Seoul's sprawl and mountainous Bukhansan National Park—an unprecedented view in South Korea, given that the tower is nearly twice the height of any structure nearby. Services include helicopter transfers, academy-trained butlers, Rolls-Royce transfers, and the country’s largest champagne selection at Bar 81. The hotel enlisted French celebrity chef Yannick Alleno, best known for three-Michelin-starred Le 1947 restaurant at Cheval Blanc Courchevel hotel and Pavillon Ledoyen in Paris, to helm the food and beverage operation. And up on the 100th floor lies the Royal Suite—the most expensive hotel room in South Korea, from about $18,000 a night." - CNT Editors
