Inside Four Seasons Hotel Seoul: A Private Tour & Why You Should Book Through Me for VVIP Perks
Seoul is a city where tradition meets modern luxury, and no hotel captures that harmony quite like the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul. Four Seasons Hotel Seoul continues to rank among the finest luxury hotels in South Korea, earning prestigious accolades such as the Forbes Five-Star Award, Travel and Leisure’s #1 City Hotel in Korea (2023), and TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice. Celebrated for its breathtaking views of Gyeongbokgung Palace, elegant marble bathrooms, exceptional spa, and world-class dining, the hotel has firmly established itself as a leading global luxury destination.
During my recent visit, I had the honor of receiving an exclusive private tour of the luxurious property from Miss Yunjung Hong, the esteemed Director of Sales. Her warm hospitality and expert insights allowed me to experience the hotel in a way most travelers never do, and now I’m thrilled to share that experience with you.
Ambassador Suite
Whether you’re traveling for business, a family getaway, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, the Four Seasons Seoul blends elegance, culture, and comfort so effortlessly. And if you’re looking to experience the very best; suite upgrades, club access, and true VIP treatment; I can help make that happen.
A Warm, Personal Welcome from Four Seasons Seoul
Our tour started in the lobby, where Miss Hong greeted us with the kind of professionalism and kindness that immediately puts you at ease. She walked us through the hotel’s history, pointing out details that most guests would never notice; from the beautiful Korean artistry woven into the design to the seamless technology, like the in-room iPad that makes communicating with reception so easy. Everything about the service is discreet, thoughtful, and distinctly Four Seasons.
From the moment you step inside, it feels like the hotel knows exactly what you need before you even ask; and that feeling stayed with us throughout the entire tour.
