The Best Hotels in Seoul, From Gangnam to Hongdae | Condé Nast Traveler

"Sprawling across 23 landscaped acres since opening in 1978 (repositioned as Grand Hyatt in 1993), the hotel has a leisure-resort feel in the heart of the city and spoils guests with top-tier amenities—including Club Olympus, a mammoth wellness complex with saunas, tennis courts, and an outdoor pool that becomes an ice rink in winter—and eleven restaurants and bars ranging from the swanky, jazz-filled Paris Bar to The Deli bakery-and-wine shop; it’s also a rare place enjoyed equally by presidents, business travelers, tourists, and staycationers, and my pick among its dining options was the hotel’s Kauri in the on-site food alley." - Katie Chang
