"JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul is uniquely positioned to offer a perfect blend of urban convenience and the beauty of autumn. Located near iconic spots like Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) and Heunginjimun Park, the hotel provides easy access to hidden gems where the vibrant autumn foliage can be admired amidst the city's hustle and bustle. As the trees in Heunginjimun Park turn shades of red and yellow, the contrast between the modern cityscape and nature’s vivid colors creates a breathtakingly unique scene. A stroll through this area during the cool autumn months allows visitors to breathe in the crisp air while taking in the calming beauty of the season. The combination of nature and architecture provides a rare opportunity to experience both the tranquility and vibrancy of autumn in the heart of Seoul, making it the ideal way to enjoy the season’s charm without leaving the city." - Aa-Young Kang
"Few skyline views are quite like those at the JW Marriott in Dongdaemun Square. Dongdaemun means the Great East Gate, one of the famed Eight Gates of Seoul, and the Joseon era landmark stands proudly atop the hustle and bustle of modern Seoul. The property itself features glass-encased executive suites, a white marble indoor pool, and five deluxe in-house dining options ranging from Korean barbecue to intricately designed pastries and soju mojitos at the piano lounge. But perhaps the hotel’s greatest asset is its convenient access to Seoul—the Dongdaemun subway station has an entrance internal to the hotel where guests are just five minutes away from downtown proper." - CNT Editors
