Anyone have a take on how the situation with Hyatts in Seoul will look this fall as things start opening up again? Is it possible that local demand dies off as folks go out of country for their vacays?
I plan on being in Seoul for most of October, and am hoping that the Park Hyatt prices might drop a bit, lol. Also does anyone know if the PH is or isn't doing the evening happy hour?

Happy hour at PH is long gone too. You should try searching long-term stay rates at Andaz or consider adding to your Bonvoy numbers at one of their limited service properties.

Lol well I guess it's good for the local industry. I was looking at booking a weekend in Busan at the Westin, and the hotel is sold out on weekends pretty much all of October. Yea may have to look at some of the Bonvoy offerings, as you suggest.
Appreciate the response!

TBT, Hyatts in Seoul put themselves into a premium luxury image category and charge a lot for what they are. I wish there was a HP or HH in Seoul for affordability.

Rooms are tiny (but still have king sized bed) but the location looks pretty good.
Not a real Hyatt so no real globalist benefits, but it's not like you get real globalist benefits at HP or HH either.

There's a SLH hotel (hotel 28) that is very affordable. I'm seeing it for $89/night in August/September. I'll probably stay a few nights and check it out (I'm doing a seoul / jeju / seoul trip; I'll probably stay there for at least one of the two Seoul stays)

Have you actually stayed there? I'm wondering if there are any issues beyond the parking and the room size (which I can live with for a few nights)

No. It was closed for a long time during the pandemic and I dont need the Myeongdong location. Its a popular Korean mattress run location and has quality finishes for the price. Its definitely nicer than Four Points or Moxy.

Your herd could probably occupy your own section at Jogakbo breakfast. You might only have to end up paying for the 3 overaged kids but still 45,000 per person/per day is a lot. My advice would be to travel to your destination, do/see it and then eat at 11am when Korean restaurants open.

Hi All, has anyone been to Seoul lately and can recommend a Hyatt property? We have a two-year-old with us so looking for somewhere easy to get in and out. Was looking at Grand Hyatt but looks like it is difficult to the city without 1. long walk or 2. a taxi. Was looking between Grand Hyatt, Andaz, or Hotel28. Also am a Globalist. Anyone has any experience with Breakfast at these places? Thanks in advance.

one plus I guess for the PH is that they had a stuffed bear in the crib haha. PH busan gave this stuffed white seal which was pretty cute. Andaz however had a welcome gift of amazing fruit that looked like it was from the Hyundai department store perhaps more practical and less clutter.

Andaz Seoul vs PH Seoul
Hi everyone, I am planning a trip to Seoul for a few days this summer. I am trying to decide between Andaz vs PH. PH is about $100 more per night. We will likely use SUA to get a standard suite. Is it worth it to go with PH over Andaz? Which one has better globalist benefits? Thanks!
