Review of The Plaza Seoul (Autograph Collection) – A Five-Star Luxury Hotel
The Plaza Seoul is a five-star luxury hotel in Seoul. It is part of the Marriott brand group. We stayed here during our holiday in Seoul and it was quite a luxurious experience. The hotel is conveniently located at the City Hall metro station.
Beautiful Artistic Room
The main reason why we chose to stay at The Plaza was because of its pretty room décor. Our room was designed in an artistic manner with big round mirrors on either side of the room and a large lamp lighting up the room. The bed was large and fluffy with smooth white linens, which ensured that we had a great night’s sleep every night.
Amenities
At the mini pantry, there was a espresso machine with free coffee shots for the coffee lovers.
The bathroom was clean and well-stocked with clean towels and toiletries. It even had an electric toilet bowl which was pretty cool. Most importantly, it was equipped with the luxurious rain shower which we really enjoyed bathing under.
Great Service!
When we first reached the hotel, the bellboy promptly helped us with our luggage while a hotel manager led us to the check-in counter. After staying at an Airbnb for the past few days where we had to take care of our own needs, it felt nice to enjoy such hotel service. Throughout our stay, we didn’t experience any problems with the overall service at all.

Hi Raevian,
I’m trying to find a hotel in Seoul that is within walking distance to all the malls and food, especially street food and preferably closes late night too. Can you give me some recommendations based on all your experiences please? After reading your helpful guide, I kind of have an idea of either Dongdaemun, Namdaemun or Myeongdong. All have shopping and food, but there are way too many hotels to choose from, can you give me a recommendation? I’m looking for some hotel that is around 4 star, not too luxurious like Ritz or Banyan tree, but still with good quality service and experience. Thank you kindly in advance.
Hi Amy! I would recommend staying at either Myeongdong Shopping Street or Dongdaemun Market. Both stay open lively late into the night. In contrast, Namdaemun market closes quite early.
Myeongdong Shopping Street is famous for having many modern malls and a myriad of cosmetic shops. There are also many delicious street food here. I recommend staying at the Aloft Seoul Myeongdong, a great value-for-money modern hotel.
Dongdaemun Market is better known for its large Korean malls selling mainly Korean fashion at wholesale prices. There are many great street food stalls here too. I recommend staying at the Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun, a decent hotel in a convenient location.
Therefore, where you decide to stay depends on whether you are more into cosmetic products / modern malls (Myeongdong), or affordable Korean fashion (Dongdaemun). Hope this helps!
