1. Seoul Staycation Recommendation

Among the 5-star staycation options in Seoul,
there's one place that stands out for its exceptional service and popularity ✨
That's right, the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul.
Most importantly, its location is absolutely fantastic,
making it popular not just for staycations, but also as an accommodation for exploring Seoul.



Right in front of the hotel is Gyeongbokgung Palace, perfect for a leisurely stroll,
and with just a short walk, you can reach Cheonggyecheon Stream, Insadong, and the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts.
Gwanghwamun Square is also easily accessible on foot.
Its location allows you to experience both traditional and modern Seoul simultaneously,
making it a consistently beloved 5-star hotel for both domestic and international travelers.
I'd always wanted to visit,
and with our anniversary approaching, my husband and I decided to go!

There are also so many amazing restaurants and cafes nearby,
making it perfect for a relaxed stroll after check-in.
Even though it's right in the heart of downtown Seoul,
the moment you step inside,
you're enveloped in a quiet, private atmosphere.
For those who want to enjoy both a luxurious staycation and explore Seoul at the same time,
this is the accommodation I highly recommend! 🏨🤍
2. Domestic Hotel Discounts



‼️ Domestic Accommodation Booking Tip ‼️
5-star hotels in Seoul tend to have higher accommodation fees,
so it's crucial to always secure the best price when booking a Seoul hotel.
I compared several booking sites,
and Agoda was the most affordable.

3. Four Seasons Hotel Seoul

The luxurious 1st-floor lobby~
We arrived right on time for the 3 PM check-in.


For this trip, I opted for the Premier Twin Room.
As soon as I stepped into the room, I was greeted by a spacious and
luxurious ambiance that I absolutely adored! 🫢

The bed was so incredibly plush that after walking around all day, I laid down in the evening and
had a completely sound sleep!
The sofa by the window was also much more comfortable than I expected,
making it the perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee.




The TV also offered OTT streaming,
so I spent the evening enjoying a proper hotel getaway by watching movies.

The views offered both mountain and cityscapes!
Since there aren't any tall buildings blocking the way, the panorama is completely unobstructed – truly breathtaking! ㅎㅎ




The room came equipped with a coffee machine, a variety of teas, and bottled water, as well as
a mini-bar! :)
I don't think I've ever seen a hotel mini-bar with such an impressive variety of beverages before!




Robes and slippers were also thoughtfully provided,
ensuring maximum comfort during my stay.

The bathroom was another highlight that truly impressed me.
It was almost as spacious as a small room!
And as for cleanliness, it was, needless to say, absolutely spotless~



It featured a spacious bathtub and a separate shower,
and the vanity area was wonderfully ample, making it incredibly convenient to use.




The amenities, like at Signiel, were Diptyque products, so the fragrance was incredibly luxurious, and I was absolutely delighted! 🥹
After a hotel-cation like this, it makes me want to fill my entire home with Diptyque products,,!


Before checking out, I leisurely enjoyed the mini refreshments and coffee prepared as welcome treats. Even the smallest dessert was thoughtfully prepared, which made me feel so good.
And in the evening, they even offer an evening turndown service! Not only do they tidy up your bedding, but they also prepare eye masks to refresh and cool your eyes~
4. Four Seasons Hotel Seoul Swimming Pool

In the afternoon, I spent some quality time at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul's swimming pool.
Since it's an indoor pool, you can enjoy it regardless of the season or weather, and the water temperature was just right, making it incredibly comfortable.




Right next to the pool, there was a shallow spa suitable even for babies, and a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna), so it was perfect for warming up after a swim.



In the central lounge area leading to the gym, fruits and yogurt were available, so you could relax and enjoy a light snack.

From the room's condition and services to the swimming pool and location, everything was absolutely satisfying! Being able to explore nearby attractions as well made the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul absolutely perfect for a 1-night, 2-day hotel-cation! ✨
If you find the best deals, you can book at a much more reasonable price than usual, so if you're planning a hotel stay in Seoul, be sure to compare prices! ‼️
