In October, Four Seasons opened its doors for the first time in South Korea. The new building was designed by Heerim Architects & Planners and LTW Designworks created the hotel’s public spaces and guestrooms.
Located in the Korean capital’s Central Business District, Four Seasons Seoul offers 317 guestrooms and suites, each designed to be a “private sanctuary” for rest and relaxation. A new, fully customizable Four Seasons Bed is in every room and features such as motorized window coverings allow guests to choose between complete darkness, veiled light, or crystal-clear views of Seoul.
Several new dining and entertainment venues are located at the new luxury hotel, including Boccalino, serving traditional Italian cuisine with a twist; Yu Yuan, inspired by 1920s Shanghai; and The Market Kitchen, a European-style market hall with a variety of cooking stations.
Another focal point is the on-site spa and Korean sauna. Signature treatments include the Miyeok Slim-Steam Wrap and the Um Yang Ritual, a botanical cure using herbs found in the ancient healing bible Dongui Bogam. Geared toward local professionals and business travelers, the Spa + Snack menu combines 30-minute mini-treatments with an express lunch. A fitness club with three pools, an indoor golf experience and juice bar is also available to guests and local members.
