Grand Hyatt Seoul

Grand Hyatt Seoul sits high on the southern slope of Namsan, on Sowol-ro above Itaewon, with views over the Han River. It is a big international five-star with around 4.4 stars from nearly 9,000 Google reviews. For a gay trip the trade-off is the hill: Homo Hill and the Itaewon bars are a 15-20 minute walk downhill, or a short taxi back up after a night out. It suits travellers who want an international chain standard and do not mind paying for it.
