Overall A huge property located in the heart of the city, this hotel felt like an old-fashioned five-star hotel off the Vegas strip, and aptly so. The hotel is connected to seven luck casino, one of the few places in Korea you can legally gamble (foreigners only). The hotel defintely caters to business travelers and rich tourists from China, so outside the actual room rate things are defintely on the pricy side. While the hard product in the rooms could use a renovation, especially the crowded bathrooms, the wonderful soft product led by an attentive staff and easily accesible location via public transport makes me wanting to go back once international travel is able to resume.-TZ Location The location of the hotel is fairly well-situated for exploring the city and using public transport, but it is rather hilly so I do not recommend coming here from Seoul Station with luggage. The hotel does offer a complimentary shuttle every half hour to and from Seoul Station. Walking to Seoul station takes about 7 minutes up a hill. There is a bus stop right nearby about a 2 minute walk that will give you access to the city. The property itself is located in a more quiet area of Seoul, presumbaly in a business or residential district. Check In A booked a base room on a Hilton Flash Sale for about 95$ inclusive/night, a pretty good deal. I was upgraded to an executive room mountain side view before check-in, and I didn't ask for a suite as early check-in was more important to me with an early red eye flight on arrival (which they granted). I took the convenient KAL Limo bus from ICN airport which drops you right at the hotel, which was very reasonable (about 10$) for a 45 minute or so commute to the hotel. When I arrived, very attentive staff were waiting for me and handled my luggage and stored them until my room was ready. They greeted me by name (I had never stayed here, but one could easily guess my appearance based on my name) anticipating my early arrival after a few back and fourths with the hotel staff. All in all, a very lovely check in. The hotel lobby was absolutely massive leading to a grand stairwell to the basement where many of the internationally themed restaurants are located. When I visited, there was a neat train exhibit and a replica of the nearby mountain. Room I'll let the pictures do most of the talking, but the room was definitely dated and overdue for a renovation. Nonetheless, perfectly clean with standard Hilton ameneities. The King bed was on the smaller side as Kings go. There were plenty of outlets and workable desk if you needed to work. The bathroom was tiny, with a standard tub in shower. As I noted, I was upgraded to a executive room with the nasam tower view, which I must say was quite stunning. My picture is of the day, but I enjoyed it more as it lit up in the evening. Dining BreakfastI had breakfast all three nights at the in-restaurant buffet located on the lobby level past the grand staircase leading towards the basement. There was also breakfast in the executive rooms, but I'm struggling to find a good reason to go there as a gold/diamond you are given complimentary access to the full (and I stress full) buffet. All three days, there were never a wait to get a table (although I stayed during the weekend and this is a business hotel). I gave my room number to the kind lady at the restaurant check in, and was immediately asked to take a seat and for my order of drink. The breakfast was superb - for me, a top three breakfast among Hilton franchises in Asia, which is a tough feat given the high quality of hotels the brand carries in the region. The buffet spread was only beat in my experience by Hilton Da Nang and Conrad Tokyo. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking, but there was a full made-to-order egg/omelete station, a made-to-order noodle station, and a myriad of Korean, other Asian, and Western selections. My personal favorite was the kimchi dumplings and beef bulgogi. Afternoon TeaThe hotel offered afternoon tea, but unfortunately (for this review's sake) I did not partake as I was busy exploring the city during the afternoons. However, from talking with a few blokes in the executive lounge during evening canapes/cocktails the afternoon tea was favorable amongst them. Here's a picture of the diamond benefit letter.Evening CocktailsAs far as executive lounges go, offerings at this hotel were on the plentiful side. The three nights I visited during evening cocktails were fairly busy so plan to get there early or late. There are two lounges, one on the 27th floor and one on the 29th floor. They were identical in offerings and space, the only exception that children were allowed on the 27th floor. When you arrive, the attendant asks for your room number and finds you a seat if it is fairly busy. Otherwise you can seat yourself. Offerings consisted of bread, one salad type offering, one hot entree type offering, and a dessert offering. There was also a full serve-yourself bar with decent selection both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. You could definitely substitute this as a small dinner, but I would recommend against it as food in Seoul is plentiful and cheap.
