Park Hyatt Seoul REVIEW - MASTER THREAD

Just checked into the Park Hyatt Seoul which opened last month. They have an introductory opening rate which is the same as the pre-paid hyatt.com rate, but can be canceled up to 24 hours prior to arrival. Rate is available till end of the month.

I was dropped off by the bus at the Inter City Terminal near Coex, and since I couldn't speak a word of Korean, my attempts to ask for direction were completely useless. I didn't have the number of the hotel with me either, so I ended up just walking around the place until I found a nice storelady who could speak English and was kind enough to show me where the hotel was. The hotel was very well hidden with no signage whatsoever on the outside. I was told by the manager that next time I could call ahead of time and they could pick me up at the station instead of me walking around..

Anyways, the hotel was felt very private, much more of a boutique hotel feel than the PHT. The lobby was on the 24th floor and checkin took less than a minute and I was escorted to my room on the 22nd floor. The staff were all very friendly, and quite enthusiastic about their hotel. I got upgraded from a Park Deluxe room to a Park Suite, which has amazing views and was given a tour of the room by another lady, who explained all the room functions to me. The room was a mix between the Park Hyatt Tokyo and the Grand Hyatt Tokyo. It's hard to explain, but imagine a Park Hyatt room, but instead of the Black and green color scheme, it had the light wood and grey color scheme of the Grand Hyatt. I asked what my Diamond status gave me, and was told that breakfast was complimentary in one of their restaurants. Only single complaint I have so far is that there is no proper work desk, only a small round dining-table like thing to work on.

Off to work now. I will post my full impressions when I leave in 2 days time.
