I am going for business and will have meetings all over Seoul, so a central location would be convenient.
As I will be all by myself it would be convenient not to have to travel too much in the evenings when I want to go and have dinner.
I am SPG Plat, so off course i like the recognition, but location is also very important.
From what I've read in this thread, it seems the Westin seems to be the best option.
I had a look at their prices and their pictures and I thought it might be a bit overpriced compared with other hotels in Seoul.
What would you recommend for me to stay?
For central business district, I usually prefer Westin Chosun ( if on north side of the river) or Grand Intercontinental( in in Gang-Nam area).
The Sheraton Walker Hill and W are too out of the way for business.
Sheraton D-Cubed is quite far west, and is fine if you are travelling a lot
by subway and doing tourist things; but a little inconvenient otherwise.
No comment on the newer Seoul additions as I have not stayed in any of them.
