    This was my home for 6 months and it was a fantastic place to call home.

    You are in the lap of luxury from the moment you walk in the door and there is no need that will ever go unfulfilled here as all you have to do is ask at the desk and they will take care of it for you.

    Down stairs, under the hotel, is one of the best-known discos (clubs) in the entire city. It is hard to get in but if you are staying at the hotel you can always get in no matter how busy it is.

    The hotel is just a 5 min. walk to Itaewon, the shopping district

    Grand Hyatt Seoul: Amazing View    Check Rates

    • Stayed for one night with my wife for our anniversary. We had a room on the club floor, with access to the lounge. It was very relaxing to sit and have a coffee and enjoy the view. The room itself was nice. It was not as big as I expected it to be, and the bathroom was smaller than I thought. Over all it was a nice place, but a little overpriced. You can't beat the view though.

    Grand Hyatt Seoul: Nice and centrally located    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • By mastergmagpa on May 12, 2006
    • This is a very upscale hotel. The amenities are are really nice, especially the restaurants, there are five of them. This is by no means a cheap hotel, over $300 a night and the rooms are quite small. They are immaculately kept however. They are always hosting some sort of event it seems. When I was there, in February '06, they were having a wine tasting "convention" that all were invited to. sampled some extraordinary wines from places I normally wouldn't have thought of as wine producers: Australia, New Zealand, even some Korean ones. The Grand Hyatt sits on top of a hill about two or three city blocks from the Han River. It is also just a short walk, albeit hilly, from the Itaewon shopping district. Not as cheap as it used to be but still are some bargains to be negotiated. It is also close to the Korean War museum, something that is not to be missed for History buffs like myself. Last time I was in Korea was 1995, was very surprised to see how this city has changed into one of the most modern and hectic places I've been in awhile. Kind of got away from the Hotel there a bit... the staff is excellent, very helpful and responsive and didn't meet one that didn't speak English.

    Grand Hyatt Seoul: On top of the Hill    Check Rates

    • Placed on top of the hill above Itaewon, the Grand Hyatt is a first class hotel with all conveniences one could expect from the famous Hyatt chain. Catering to the business traveler and Japanese Tourists, this is not a hotel for the budget minded. JJ Mahoneys in the basement is a great bar but get ready to pay the price. Its packed on Friday and Saturdays with top class young Koreans and the slimey stock broker looking for a hooker. The Paris Grill is a great restaurant but again, way over priced for Seoul. The summer BBQ on the terrace is not a bad deal, especially with the view over the city and the Hahn River.

    Loved this hotel. I had a great view of the city below. Was on the club level, so the breakfast was great. Scrambled eggs, bacon, lunchmeats, cheeses, oatmeal, juices, coffee.
    GREAT spa. I recommend a salt scrub, which was only USD25.00. WONDERFUL! The lotion they had (Happy Bath) to use in the dressing room, afterward, was heavenly! You HAVE to have a salt scrub.
    6 restaurants to keep you busy, too.
    They even freeze the pool between December and February, and you can skate on it!

    spa was great.

    I've stayed at many hotels in Seoul, but among them, I've stayed at three of the top names, the Hilton, Grand Hyatt and the Westin.

    It is a very tough decision for me to place either of the Westin or the Hyatt at the top. They both have their merits.

    The Hyatt in my opinion is a very comfortable stay, with soft beds, comfortable rooms (not the most spacious, but nice), and good size bathrooms. The views are terrific.

    For location, it may add a bit of a commute to most business districts, but the quiet location on Namsan and relative east to Itaewon is great!

    In my opinion of the three hotels, the Hyatt has the best quality breakfast buffet too.

    About a 3 minute taxi up the hill from Itaewon.
    Walking distance to Itaewon (if you want to walk the hill) and Namsan, Seoul Tower.

    If you are in Seoul with business in Itaewan, the Hyatt is a great option for you. It has a great location in Itaewan-2-dong, close enough to the shopping and restaurants, but high enough up the hill to avoid Itaewan's sleaze factor. The area immediately around the Hyatt has some very high class restaurants and boutiques for the fashion-conscious. Namsan is also just a short walk to the north if you want some exercise.

    The hotel itself offers a good variety of restaurants (including a fantastic buffet, as well as Korean, Japanese, and European restaurants). J.J. Mahoney's is a very famous nightspot in Seoul for drinking and dancing.

    Room prices range from 200,000 Won (~US$200) to 500,000 Won (~US$500).

    Pulling up in their chauffered driven limos, stepping out in their head to top gucci, blinging up as they flash their Cartiers. These are the stylist clientelles that struts through the lobby of this distingusihing 5 Star establishment.

    So why was I there, i was fortunate enough to score free room because of my employments with the Hyatt chain.

    But still, after staying there and being about to witness Seoul from sunrise to sunset from your elegant room, you would feel that the money spent there was well spent.

    The room were small but homely. The staffs was fantastic, friendly and as expected very polite. Also, there is a shuttle service that takes to the tourist spot.

    by AKtravelers
    The Grand Hyatt Hotel in Seoul has many advantages and is a wonderful place to stay. The service is great and the rooms are well-appointed, thoug small. It has an unsurpassable view, especially at night when the neon of Seoul emerges. It has an excellent outdoor pool in the summer and a skating rink in the winter, and several indoor opportunities like a gym, restaurants and bars. However, given a choice of equivelent hotels, I rarely choose the Hyatt. For me, it is too isolated, a decent walk down a steep hill (and back up it when you're done -- not a happy experience in Seoul's saturated summer air) to anything -- including the subway. Since I like to spend more time roaming the city then enjoying the hotel, that is a huge drawback for me.
