Seoul, Korea
The Shilla Seoul
Traditional aesthetics with modern sensibility
What we think
Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.
South Korea’s capital is one of Asia’s most vibrant and economically powerful cities, with a skyline whose architectural innovation reflects its pioneering spirit. It’s not easy keeping up with this futurama, but The Shilla Seoul succeeds with a combination of comfortable elegance and cutting-edge technology. The location is unbeatable: at the heart of the city and bordering the 23-acre Janchungdan Park. Interiors are a flawless blend of East-meets-West, with soaring public spaces and European-style guestrooms, many with views of Namsan Mountain. Equally top-notch is the Guerlain Spa, the first of its kind in an Asian hotel, overseen by Paris-trained therapists. The facilities also include an outdoor swimming pool, a luxury in the fast-paced city.
