The Shilla Seoul

Spectacular view on N Seoul Tower and mountain, room is well sized with wardrobe and very comfortable desk, bedding is extremely comfortable and the mattress and pillows are incredibly soft, all toiletries are from Molton Brown, gym has all the equipment and helpful staff, swimming pool is excellent, the room is properly cleaned twice a day. Staff is extremely professional and friendly, willing to go extra to help us with any questions. Concierge service is one of the best I have experienced globally. We had breakfast and dinner at The Parkview- it serves the most delicious and sophisticated food. The Library bar has a fantastic view, serves delicious coffee and live music and signing takes place in the evening. Dongguk University Station is 5 mins walk and Namsan hiking route is 15 mins walk away. Hotel has a selection of amazing luxury shops on the basement floor, including contemporary fashion designers. The Shilla has a wonderful Korean art displayed including Park Seo-Bo and Lee Bae.

Our stay at the Shilla Seoul Hotel was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff offered warm, personalized service that made us feel truly welcome. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and elegantly designed with breathtaking views. Every detail—from the plush bedding to the high-end amenities—was thoughtfully curated for comfort. The on-site restaurant served gourmet meals, and the spa provided a blissful escape. Conveniently located yet peaceful, it offered the perfect balance of relaxation and accessibility. This hotel exceeded all expectations; it’s a flawless blend of luxury, service, and comfort.

We definitely understand why it is a 5-star hotel! The service was excellent - staff was very helpful and anticipates our needs. The room was spacious and comfortable with a perfect view of Namsan Tower. The free shuttle pick up and drop off was good and useful, can be asked for anytime at our convenience. Breakfast buffet is one of the best I've tried! Our stay was so relaxing and we barely lifted a finger!

Location is amazing and a selling factor to us. We thought the building was underwhelming from an architectural stand point, the inside is what matters though. We thought it was beautiful, one of a kind with superb service

We really enjoyed staying at Shilla. Shilla was truly one of the best hotels we have stayed. The food was amazing and the staff members at the executive lounge were particularly wonderful. Especially Emma Lee, Elena Ha and Nana Hong who were very attentive and detailed and made us feel very comfortable, like we were at home.
