Seoul 5* Mystery Hotel $129
Title says it all, curious as to which hotel it is. What throws me off the most is the free parking, a rarity anywhere in Asia!

TripAdvisor lists over 40 hotels in Seoul with "free parking," 13 of which are "5*" hotels.
I don't know how accurate TripAdvisor's designations are, but you can go to TripAdvisor's list of hotels in Seoul and filter based on the above criteria and see if it could be one of those.

Because it says Jung-gu, I'd narrow it down to Lotte Seoul or Plaza. It says shuttle service, which the Plaza doesn't offer. If it's Lotte, this is a great price.
For a few dates I was looking for, the price was higher: $176

Thx OP for posting! I just booked it and it's actually the Grand Ambassador (Pullman).
Price comes out to $149 all in/night. While this sounds fantastic, I see that you can book on other sites for another $20~$30 extra per night. Good savings. I'm guessing their occupancy is a bit low, as this hotel is the only *5 that's priced anywhere near $200/night.
If you're thinking of staying here, FYI, there's not much to do in the immediate vicinity. It's a short hop on the taxi or the subway (located nearby) to Itaewon (expat area) and dongdaemun (shopping area), so it's not a bad spot if you're looking for a bit of respite from the crowd.

Seoul is one of the most tourist friendly cities I've been to and I highly recommend it.
