"Sleek and sensual spaces are filled with curated Korean art and anchored by what’s described as the city’s most civilized cocktail bar." - Ty Gaskins

"On arrival the atmosphere is consistently classy and calm: the gleaming lobby is scented with the brand’s warm, woody fragrance (it reminded me of Comme des Garçons’ Wonderwood and Odin New York’s 07 Tanoke), and I was immediately drawn to striking artworks such as Kim Jong Gu’s Water, Rock, Pine, Bamboo, Moon. The space is filled with a label-loving mix of South Koreans and international guests—many flaunting Hermès baby Birkins and Dior Book Totes—lounging or checking in, yet despite the buzz the mood stays relaxed because the Four Seasons’ well-trained staff know how to manage even the most persnickety guests." - Katie Chang

"Staying in Gwanghwamun, I found Four Seasons Hotel Seoul convenient for walking to historic sites like Gyeongbokgung Palace and Insadong; the property pays homage to Korean heritage with original works by local artists such as Choi Byung Hoon, hanbok-inspired headboards, vintage pottery, a modern Korean sauna, and the tucked-away H. Bar inside Charles H." - Katie Chang

"At the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, guests can enjoy beer at the garden terrace, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing autumn evening." - Aa-Young Kang
