Seoul · South Korea
Ultra PremierThe Shilla Seoul
The Shilla Hotels & Resorts (Samsung/Hotel Shilla) · Grande-dame urban resort · Jangchung-dong, Jung-gu, on the wooded slope of Namsan
Open since 1979 and the long-standing benchmark for Korean hospitality, The Shilla occupies a rare green setting on Namsan with an outdoor sculpture garden and one of the city's few resort-scale grounds. Recent renovations have modernised the rooms while preserving the measured, almost ceremonial service that has hosted visiting heads of state for decades.
Why we recommend it
The most complete sense of arrival in the city, combining genuine grounds, a destination Korean kitchen and old-guard service.
