The buffet breakfast caters for western, Korean, Chinese and Japanese palates and is high quality. The high tea is a fun experience in grand English antique surrrounds. Pool looks like it could use an upgrade. Single sex hot baths an unexpected bonus. Overall a luxurious stay in a convenient location.

Very nice property and a pretty good deal if you can get a promotional price. We paid around $200 per night thru hotels.com and felt it was well worth it. The location is a little out of the way, which we preferred as it was much quieter at night. It was still central enough to walk to subways and easy to grab taxis. There are some fine options for food and drinks within walking distance, but it’s worth venturing out more as transport is not expensive. The staff are all friendly and accommodating, especially the valet / bellmen. We had no issues with noise (but we did request a quiet room, so you can do that for good measure).

Stayed for a week in a serviced apartment, which was beautiful, clean and spacious. Many of the staff spoke excellent English, which was very helpful. Food was all lovely, room service food was hot, delicious and well presented, and breakfast was honestly the nicest I’ve had in any hotel. The concierge, Chris was extremely helpful before we arrived, arranging transport and so on, and lovely whilst we were there. Hotel is extremely well located. Arranged a late check out for us without issue. Cannot fault it in any way and will definitely stay again when we return to South Korea.

I had such an amazing stay at the Imperial Palace! The staff were genuinely the sweetest I’ve ever encountered, from the reception team to the cleaners. Every interaction made me feel so welcomed and cared for. The rooms were spotless, and the whole experience made me feel like royalty wherever I went. I’d love to stay again on my next visit!
