Conrad Seoul Lounge Review 2026: Afternoon Tea, Cocktails, Breakfast

During my stay in the Conrad Seoul Executive Suite, I thoroughly enjoyed the lounge facilities.

I'm excited to share my honest, self-funded review of how I made the most of everything, from Afternoon Tea even before check-in, to Dinner Evening Cocktails, and finally, Morning Breakfast!

Conrad Seoul Lounge Location

The Conrad Seoul lounge is conveniently located on the top floor – the 37th floor.

Since '37 Bar' is also on the same floor, you can head up even without a card key.

Step out of the elevator, walk past 37 Bar, and turn left – you'll find the Executive Lounge!

Upon entering, you'll discover two distinct areas: one showcasing the food displays, and another space located to the left.

The first area boasts breathtaking Han River views stretching beyond the Parc.1 Tower,

while the second, though offering a city view, provided more private and comfortable sofa seating options.

Even the restrooms are luxurious!

While not exclusive to the lounge and shared with the adjacent 37 Bar,

it felt incredibly private and pleasant to use, thanks to the individual sinks in each stall.

Conrad Seoul Lounge Hours

The Conrad Seoul lounge hours are generally divided into three fantastic periods.

If we consider the order of use based on check-in time, it goes like this:

Please note,

Afternoon Tea is available even before check-in,

Children under 14 years old are not permitted in the lounge from 4 PM to 10 PM.

1. Afternoon Tea

Our hotel getaway was a delightful experience shared by three women.

Since we had a suite, we decided to check in directly at the lounge and simply meet up there as our schedules allowed – so convenient! 😄

I arrived around 2 PM!

When I got there, my friend who arrived earlier had already laid out a fantastic spread of desserts and was waiting for me 🤗.

First things first, I needed to quench my thirst, and then I began my exploration!

First, I checked out the beverage selection.

For coffee, you can enjoy not just Americano and Espresso, but also lattes and cappuccinos made with capsule coffee.

The capsule coffee is Nespresso brand,

You can choose from a total of 6 Nespresso capsule coffee flavors: Finezzo, Forte, Decaffeinato, Intenso, Ristretto, and Ristretto Intenso!

It was great that decaf coffee was also available.

Another thoughtful touch was a small lemon slice placed right next to the teabag!

So you can enjoy your tea with a refreshing slice of lemon :)

Beyond that, the refrigerator was stocked with apple juice, grapefruit juice, orange juice, and even iced Americano.

From warm scones served with strawberry jam and whipped cream,

to desserts like madeleines, chocolate fudge, coconut tarts, and chocolate cake,

and even light meal options such as salmon sandwiches and egg mayo sandwiches.

I had already eaten lunch, so I only had a taste,

but the salmon sandwich was surprisingly delicious, and my friend, who hadn't eaten lunch, ended up having her full meal here, haha!

And of course, there was also fruit. When I visited, there were luscious apples.

The lounge featured not only a TV but also a selection of magazines and books, making it a perfect spot to spend some leisurely time :)

​

And here's a glimpse of the Han River view seating!

The weather was overcast that day, and we already had a great view of the Han River from our room, so we opted for the comfy sofa seats.

But it's clear the Han River view spots are very popular, haha!

2. Evening Cocktails (Dinner)

From 4:30 PM onwards, during the Evening Cocktail hour when dinner menus are served, there were definitely more people!

We went as a group of three around 5 PM, and since there aren't many tables for three, we had to wait a little. Just something to keep in mind!

First off, befitting an evening cocktail experience, you can customize and create your own cocktails from a variety of spirits!

Lemon and lime slices are also available to garnish your drinks.

The food menu starts with vegetable sticks like bell peppers, cucumbers, and carrots, and light salads,

moving on to unique salads like beet salad and chicken tofu salad, along with a variety of sauces.

For main dishes, there were options like seafood pajeon (savory Korean pancake), soy-glazed grilled chicken, roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes, and Jeyuk-bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork).

The menu isn't fixed, though; they switch to different items once something runs out.

Surprisingly delicious, I just couldn't stop reaching for these Beef Rice Balls! lol!

Perfect to pair with cocktails, there was also smoked salmon, cheese, and ham.

In addition to the apples that were also at afternoon tea, new fruits like dragon fruit, pineapple, and melon were added!

Desserts like carrot cake, mousse cake, and green tea cookies were more varied than I expected.

A generous dinner time with cocktails :) It was truly a spread perfect for a full meal!

After enjoying a fulfilling spread of salads, main dishes, desserts, and fruits, we were able to happily return to our room.

3. Breakfast Buffet

Finally, the next day's breakfast buffet starts from 6:30 AM,

Since we stayed up playing board games until late the night before, we visited a bit later around 9 AM.

The breakfast buffet closes at 10:30 AM!

Muesli, low-fat, yogurt, Greek yogurt, and more – a variety of yogurt options perfect for breakfast.

There were also egg tarts, pancakes, and waffles,

For egg dishes, there was a variety including scrambled eggs, soft-boiled, hard-boiled, and fried eggs.

Of course, for breakfast, there were also salad options available.

I noticed a Korean-style corner, and it turned out to be a station where you could make your own Bibimbap!

They even had a well-stocked selection of sources like rice, gochujang (Korean chili paste), sesame oil, and perilla oil, haha!

Since I wasn't craving bibimbap first thing in the morning, I skipped it!

There was also a wide variety of breads, including bagels, soft rolls, and sliced bread.

You could warm them up using the Balmuda oven and De'Longhi toaster right next to them.

Main dishes included favorites like bacon, hash browns, sausages, grilled fish, roasted potatoes, and egg noodles.

And it was great to be able to add various toppings to the yogurt.

Below are the various plates we each put together, tailored to our own tastes! haha

Conrad is also famous for its Zest buffet, known for its delicious seafood, and you can enjoy breakfast here too if you pay a little extra.

While it's not quite on the level of Zest, for a lounge breakfast, it was an impressive spread, allowing us to start our day feeling fully satisfied! :)

Thanks to thoroughly enjoying the lounge amenities, we didn't spend a single cent on food during our 2-day, 1-night stay! That's the exclusive privilege of a lounge room, isn't it? 🤗

While the Conrad lounge was fantastic, the Corner Suite with Han River views was truly exceptional..😌
