Hotel The Designers Seoul

The hotel is a boutique property on Hangang-daero in Yongsan District, a short walk from Seoul Station. Namsan Tower and Yongsan Park face the building directly, and upper-floor rooms look straight across at both. Ten room categories run from compact Superior doubles at 18 square metres to the Designer Suites at 265 square metres, each fitted with a 50-inch television, individual climate control and a rain shower or bathtub. Two of the top suites carry railway views over the tracks below; two others, styled Suite B, come with Namsan views and a private pool. Rooms are decorated to individual concepts rather than a single house style, so no two floors look quite alike. Facilities extend to a sauna, a fitness centre, a conference room, a café, a restaurant and a laundry room. Wifi and a 24-hour concierge desk are included; breakfast and sauna access are paid extras. Luggage storage is available around the clock. It is a compact stay, built for travellers passing through the station district rather than settling in for a resort week. The location favours movement: platforms, the park, and the tower are all within easy reach on foot.
