Last time I stayed at the Sheraton Gangnam Palace and was not very happy.
This time I am considering the Four Points by Seoul Station, or the Courtyard / Aloft nearby the Westin (which is too expensive). Which would y'all recommend?
Of those 3, definitely the Courtyard Namdaemun or Aloft Myeongdong. Courtyard is a little bit more upscale and even better if you have access to the Executive Lounge, but the Aloft is right around the corner from Myeongdong and all of the street food and shopping that gets very lively at night. The Courtyard is across from Namdaemun market if you’re into shopping, but there are also a lot of late night bars/restaurants in the streets behind the hotel (Korean fried chicken and beer!)
