Yeouido, an island in the Han River, hosts the city’s financial district, the tallest building in the country, the National Assembly and Conrad Seoul – a glass tower and one of the city’s finer hotels. Ideal for those wanting to mix business and pleasure. All 434 rooms provide comfort with smart technology. The 36th-floor Penthouse Suite is the ultimate in Conrad luxury and the choice of Hollywood stars on location, or book a suite for access to the 37th-floor Executive Club Lounge and comes with an indulgent breakfast, afternoon tea and cocktail hour. There are a total of 47 Corner Suites if you’re seeking out views of both the river and the iconic 63 Building. High, dramatic ceilings are a common theme throughout and the lobby’s ceiling is bejewelled with amber-coloured ginkgo leaf chandeliers that represent fortune in Korea. The hotel’s Wellness Zone is where you can work out in the 24-hour fitness centre, do laps in the pool, relax in the steam room or be pampered in the adjacent spa.
