The Westin Josun Seoul

We stayed at The Westin Josun Seoul on the 18th floor in a spacious 55 sqm family suite with two connecting rooms—perfect for our trip with kids and large 30-inch suitcases. There was plenty of room to unpack everything without any hassle. The bathroom was well-designed with a clean separation between wet and dry areas, and having a bathtub made it so relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. What truly stood out was the thoughtful touches: a warm cup of red date ginseng tea was always waiting on the coffee table when we returned, and our children were greeted with little surprises each evening. The turndown service was impeccable—the slippers, water bottles, and bedside tray were neatly arranged every night. As someone with a strong preference for cleanliness, I appreciate how the staff even provided perfectly pressed, fresh cloths to place under my jewelry and cosmetics—such a small but incredibly meaningful gesture. After decades of staying at luxury hotels, few have matched this level of attention to detail. The executive floor breakfast was simple but refined—fresh ingredients, excellent quality, and delicious flavors. Everyone in our family enjoyed it. Truly unforgettable stay, and highly recommended!

L'Escape Hotel

This hotel absolutely exceeded my expectations — I’d definitely stay here again. Located just a short walk from Hwajeon Station on Line 4, it’s perfectly positioned for exploring Myeongdong and Namdaemun Market without the noise or crowds. The service was excellent, matching the reliable standard I’ve come to expect from Marriott-affiliated properties — friendly staff, quick responses, and spotless rooms.
