A Decade of Memories at Park Hyatt Seoul

Having visited Park Hyatt Seoul annually for over ten years, we have built a deep connection with the property. It is because we care for the hotel that I wanted to share some constructive observations to help maintain the high standards we have come to expect. Property Maintenance & Hardware While we noted the partial renovations from a few years ago, the guest rooms are beginning to show their age. To remain competitive with Seoul’s evolving luxury market, the property would benefit from a comprehensive makeover, similar to the recent, impressive transformation at Park Hyatt Tokyo. Atmosphere & Odor Issues We noticed persistent odors in key areas that detracted from the luxury experience: * 15th Floor: A distinct "burnt linen" smell in the corridor near the utility room. * The Timber House: Noticeable musty/sewer-like odors in certain sections. Dining Experience – Cornerstone After an exceptional dinner in 2025, we chose a private room for a birthday celebration this year. While the "Primavera Nobile" course was generally well-received, the dessert (Ricotta Cream-filled Choux) was a significant disappointment. Unlike the light, crisp pastry we’ve enjoyed at PH Milan, these were soggy with stale-tasting cream. Unfortunately, all seven guests felt this ended an otherwise lovely meal on a poor note. Commendations Despite these concerns, the service remains a highlight. We would like to extend our special appreciation to: * Erin Kim: Who was wonderful in looking after every small detail of our stay. * Jake Park: Whose warm smile and friendly greeting we look forward to every year. We share this in the hope of seeing these areas addressed by our next visit.

Best of the best

Love love love Park Hyatt , they are so sweet to prepare the birthday surprise and I love it so much !

Wonderful Stay and great location

Even though it has been almost a year since our stay at Park Hyatt Seoul, I still remember what a wonderful experience we had. The hotel was very clean, beautifully maintained, and the location is excellent for exploring Seoul. I would also like to give special recognition to Bentley, who welcomed guests at the entrance and opened the doors. He greeted us warmly every time we arrived and made us feel truly welcome. His kindness and professionalism left a lasting impression. Great hotel, wonderful service, and we would happily stay here again.

A solid choice for upscale business and other travel in the heart of Gangnam

Park Hyatt Seoul is centrally located in Gangnam -- so basically part of the "new city" as compared to the "old city" on the other side of the Han River. It is similar to Park Hyatts that may you have experienced in other countries. The closest I put it to is Park Hyatt Toronto. Service is top notch, and absolutely no complaints. I had the largest corner suite room, with more TVs than I needed, but the Beosound *and* Bose soundbars were nice touches. The bathroom has heated flooring and double vanities, which are always appreciated. The toilet has a washlet -- it's not a Toto, though -- and so a bit inferior (splitting hairs?). I was there on business, and appreciated the large desk with plentiful outlets. Similarly, there were outlets to the sides of both vanities, as well as outlets above both bedroom nightstands. It's little things like this that can really make or break a stay. Every is super, super nice. Laundry service, non-express, was in by 9 or 11 am (I can't remember which) and out by 6 pm. When I travel for business, I go for "easy" and "seamless" -- I want everything to just work right, and I have no complaints with the Park Hyatt in this respect. I received an email ahead of my reservation that due to construction I may hear noise at times in the room. I was on a lower floor -- the 8th floor -- and frankly couldn't tell that there was much if any noise. Maybe 10-20 minutes a day? Absolutely not a problem. I visit Korea at least once a year, and this is my go-to hotel. Large rooms, for a reasonable price. Oh, one last thing -- I'm vegan, and they cater to vegans. There's actually a complete vegan in-room menu. Very unusual for an Asian hotel. My personal opinion with Park Hyatt is that it's a hair under Four Seasons, and two hairs under Mandarin Oriental. That's not a negative, as those are both fine hotels. If you are expecting "over the top" service at Park Hyatt, you may be disappointed. But if you are expecting solid, luxury service, it's your hotel. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Great location with the circle loop metro / underground station at doorstep

I LOVE ASIA
