20 Best Luxury Hotels in Seoul 2024

A city of pop culture and connectivity, South Korea’s Seoul is cutting-edge cool.

With a population of 25 million spread over the greater metropolitan area, the city plays as hard as it works. Forging an impressive path into the future, it is also home to some of Asia’s oldest communities. Thousand-year-old Buddhist temples, high-tech subways, charming boutiques, palaces and street markets all form part of everyday life. Divided in half by the tree tree-lined Han River, you find Ganbuk in the north and Gangnam in the south, with the historic core Jongno District and the traditional Bukchon Hanok Village that dates back almost 600 years. 

Gangnam is the most famous Seoul district – not only because of that catchy ‘Gangnam Style’ song — and is one of the most exclusive areas to live, shop and play in. Designer stores, posh restaurants and medical tourism dominate. A place of beauty – structural, commercial and worldly.
