Honest Review of Four Seasons Hotel Seoul - Free Stay Thanks to My Sister!

Hello! I recently had the chance to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul for free, thanks to my sister. On top of that, the staff upgraded us to a corner room, which was such a lucky treat!

📍 Prime Location in the Heart of Gwanghwamun

Located in Gwanghwamun, the hotel offers excellent accessibility. It's close to Gyeongbokgung Palace and the Blue House, making it the perfect spot for exploring Seoul 🚇

🏨 Corner Room Upgrade - Amazing!

During check-in, the staff upgraded us to a corner room! With windows on two sides, we could enjoy a panoramic view of Gwanghwamun. The nighttime view of Gwanghwamun was absolutely stunning 🌃

The king-size bed was super comfortable, and the wardrobe was incredibly spacious—big enough for a person to fit inside!

🌸 Enchanted by the Fragrance

From the lobby to the guest rooms, there was a subtle, special fragrance that I absolutely loved. I looked into buying the diffuser and found out it costs 66,000 KRW. It's pricey, but I'm tempted to bring that scent home ㅎㅎ

🍽️ Exceptional Room Service

For dinner, I ordered LA galbi and kimchi stew through room service, and they were absolutely delicious! The food exceeded typical hotel standards 😋

Additionally, all orders and services, like pillow exchanges, could be handled through a tablet in the room. It was so convenient to manage everything with just a few taps 📱

🛁 Hidden Gem!

Next to the bathtub, there was a beautiful decorative object that turned out to contain bath salts! At first, I thought it was just for decoration, but I discovered its purpose. Using the bath salts made the bath feel like a spa experience 🧂

🛁 Missed Out on the Sauna

The hotel has a fully equipped Korean-style sauna, but unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to try it out. I’ll definitely make sure to use it next time!

💸 Pricey, but Worth It

It’s an amazing hotel, but the price is definitely steep. I’m grateful to my sister for letting me experience it for free. It’s perfect for special occasions or anniversaries 💰

🌟 Overall: As Expected from Four Seasons!

The service, facilities, and location all reflect the luxury of a 5-star hotel. The unique fragrance and the Gwanghwamun view from the corner room are unforgettable.

Next time, I’ll make sure to try the sauna and maybe even splurge on the diffuser~
