Signiel Seoul Deluxe Suite Review 2026: Lounge, Gym & Breakfast

To celebrate a friend's birthday,

three of us girls visited

SIGNIEL Seoul!

As Korea's highest,

top-floor 5-star hotel,

our expectations were sky-high!

I'll share my honest review and

some golden tips for booking.

Since there were

three of us on this 'hocance' (hotel vacation),

we booked a Deluxe Suite and

paid an additional guest fee of ~$47.

SIGNIEL Seoul offers

more room types than you might expect.

Excluding rooms like the Presidential Suite, which can cost

several thousand dollars a night,

for typical rooms designed for two people,

there are these three options:

Grand Deluxe,

Premier,

and Deluxe Suite.

You'll notice that the room area increases in this order:

Grand Deluxe > Premier

> Deluxe Suite.

While the Grand Deluxe and Premier rooms are the most basic, featuring

one bedroom and one bathroom,

the Deluxe Suite and above are considered suite rooms that include a living area!

Deluxe Suite Room Review

There is a Premier Suite, which is the next step up from the Deluxe Suite, but

after reading reviews, it seems to just offer a slightly larger room.

So, if you're going for a suite, the Deluxe Suite offers great value for money!

The bedroom area of the SIGNIEL Seoul Deluxe Suite featured

a king-sized bed, a long sofa, a single armchair,

and a work desk.

But what truly stole the show was

the breathtaking view of Seoul from over 100 floors up!

Though the cherry blossom season was just past its peak, we could still see

the cherry blossom paths around Seokchon Lake, as well as the Han River...!

You know that phenomenon when you try to photograph the outdoors from inside,

and if it's too bright outside,

your camera struggles to capture the light properly?

That's exactly what happened when I tried to snap the SIGNIEL view,

so the photos came out darker than I expected. But trust me, in person, it was a truly spectacular sight!

I mean, I had clearly booked a Deluxe Suite, but I was so captivated by the view

that I barely took any photos of the room itself!

The living area had a cozy round table and a sofa,

making it perfect for conversations!

At the round table in the living room,

we ordered Downtowner burgers and played Monopoly,

having a truly delightful 'hocance' (hotel vacation) together! 😊

Pool, Gym

Talk about a travel blunder! I completely forgot

to pack my swimsuit that day,

so I couldn't make it to the pool.

But hey, while my friends were splashing around,

I decided to make the absolute most of the gym!

I even got my body composition measured on their top-of-the-line InBody machine,

stretched out on a yoga mat,

hit the treadmill,

and squeezed in some strength training!

And let me tell you, the gym machines were all

Technogym products,

which means they were absolutely fantastic!

Even while I was sweating it out, the incredible view

was so beautiful,

it made working out a pure delight.

Good to know: you only need to bring your own sneakers,

and you can **borrow workout clothes for free** :)

SIGNIEL Seoul Lounge

Here's another fantastic perk of SIGNIEL Seoul:

every single guest gets

**complimentary access to the Salon de SIGNIEL Lounge**!

The **SIGNIEL Seoul Lounge operates** across two distinct time slots:

1. Refreshments

(Hours of Operation:

07:00~10:00, 14:00~16:00)

Snacks, fruits, coffee, and beverages​

2. Evening Delights

(Hours of Operation: 17:00~20:00)

Four types of champagne and sparkling wine,

nuts, cheese, snacks, coffee, and beverages

Even outside these dedicated times, you're welcome to visit,

and simple coffee and beverages are available.

The lounge is also home to a fantastic collection of

**books and magazines on architecture, design, and art**,

all beautifully curated by ASSOULINE, one of the world's leading art book publishers.

As a fellow bookworm, I absolutely reveled in spending time there!

SIGNIEL Seoul Breakfast

While the lounge at SIGNIEL Seoul offers some lovely,

**simple finger foods and fruits**, we felt it wouldn't be quite enough for a proper breakfast.

So, we decided to book breakfast separately!

You can enjoy SIGNIEL Seoul's breakfast at STAY Restaurant,

a Michelin 1-star establishment located on the 81st floor.

It's available from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM.

The price is **~$55 per adult**.

But to be frank,

for a breakfast priced at ~$55,

it didn't quite hit the mark as something truly special. 😅

Sure, the view from here was still spectacular,

and the food itself was perfectly fine

with a good variety of options,

and it was certainly edible.

But maybe my expectations were just too sky-high,

as I didn't feel a strong desire to come back for it.

Honestly, with so many amazing restaurants

around Jamsil,

I'd suggest skipping the breakfast buffet and

enjoying a delicious brunch at one of the local spots instead!

Since there were three of us celebrating a birthday,

we booked the Deluxe Suite Double. But truly,

the biggest reason **SIGNIEL Seoul comes with a higher price tag**

**is the incredible view**. If you're visiting as a couple,

The Grand Deluxe Room

seems like a perfectly great option too! :)

Instead, depending on your preference,

you might consider adding the option for a bathtub with a view

(~$44).

It could be a great choice!

For Signiel Seoul,

as of April,

Trip.com currently seems to have the best prices,

but prices vary by date,

so it's a good idea to check Agoda and other hotel websites as well!
