"Located in a historic Seoul neighborhood with easy subway access, the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul is recommended as a dazzling hotel choice for visitors who want to be close to bustling Christmas markets at Gwanghwamun Square, the Seoul Plaza Ice Rink, and services like Myeongdong Cathedral." - Judy Koutsky
"Opened just over ten years ago as South Korea’s first JW Marriott, the property feels intimate and boutique-like with only 170 rooms and suites; the lobby includes a sparkling acrylic-and-nylon-thread installation by Korean artist Bahk Seon Ghi, and as you approach the massive marble check-in desks the stirring views of Dongdaemun—Heunginjimun Gate—hit you, a historic landmark that stands as an enduring symbol of Korea’s suffering and resilience." - Katie Chang
"I list JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul among other vetted luxury hotels that provide upscale, convenient options for a culturally rich stay in the city." - Katie Chang
"The JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul is home to various cafés and lounges, some featuring outdoor terraces perfect for soaking in the fall atmosphere." - Aa-Young Kang
"Positioned by Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) and Heunginjimun Park, this stay offers a rare blend of urban vibrancy and autumn calm. As Heunginjimun Park’s trees shift to reds and yellows, the contrast with the modern cityscape creates a breathtaking scene; a cool-weather stroll here lets you breathe in crisp air while taking in the season’s calming beauty—an ideal way to enjoy fall without leaving the city." - Aa-Young Kang
