We stayed in Seoul for 6 nights and 7 days, and I opted to stay at three Chase Edit Hotels to get a feel for the different properties and neighborhoods. The first two nights, we stayed at the Mondrian. It was nice and modern, the rooms were small but the breakfast was good, and the location was nice as we went to Gangnam.
The next two nights were at the Shilla. Although it was on top of the hill, they do offer a free shuttle and the property is expansive with a nice sculpture garden and plenty of areas to walk. The service was great as was the breakfast.
Our last two nights, we spent at the Four Seasons and I was blown away. Yes, the property is beautiful, the location is perfect for visiting the river walk, the palace, and Myeongdong, and getting around anywhere with ease. The breakfast is out of this world, and we actually spent almost two hours per day at the breakfast as there are so many options - Korean street food, dim sum, a 6-foot chocolate fountain, etc...
The shining star of this property though is the service. I can't say enough about the incredible staff, from the doormen and concierge to the check-in staff and more. On my last night, I sprained my ankle one block from the hotel and had to take an uber back as I couldn't put any weight on it. Upon arriving to the hotel, the doorman quickly rushed to help me out of the car, and then found me an ice pack and helped me to my room. The front desk team sent up buckets of ice and plastic bags. By the next morning, I had the concierge confirming hours and location for my wife to get a brace and cane along with several recommendations for doctors that were available on a Saturday morning.
I was blown away by the level of support and service. Will be returning to Seoul again and staying here the entire time.
