Indeed it is the expensive stuff - having never tried it, I have no idea how they taste, though!

I nearly spewed my coffee with the mental picture of PHS giving out Cheoumchorum or Chamisool soju as Diamond amenity. (For those who don't know, those green bottles barely cost 2 USD per bottle)

Does anyone know the max number of people for the diamond breakfast here at PH Seoul? Is it 2 or 4? And I'm assuming registered guests or not necessary? I'm staying in a Park King suite and I think max occupancy is 3 so I'm going to assume it is either 2 or 3 max ppl for the breakfast? Thanks in advance!

if you booked it for 3 guests, then it's free for 3 guests.
2, then 2 free breakfasts

Sunday Brunch
I have stayed at this hotel multiple times, but don't think I every had a stay that included a Sunday morning. Would anyone know if Sunday Brunch is included for Diamonds? Looks to be close to $100/adult. Thanks in advance.

The upside:
The breakfast is almost as good as brunch minus sushi and grilled meats. Go late enough and that can be your brunch...ha.

Not as wide in selection as most other 5* hotels in the city, but much better quality all around. And less of a zoo as well, which helps.

Just completed a 3 day stay here. The interior of the room has been described already, so I focus on a few items which I found surprising: The mattress was very firm, I found it quite hard to sleep the first night even when using the duvel as extra cushioning. Also surprising was that the dark covers where not blocking out light as much as I would have hoped, so I woke up relatively early. Soundproofing was not that great either (I read about that already).
Service was very good though, it was at times as if staff was anticipating what you might need or want next. Breakfast was very good too, in quality as well as selection. The bar was nice too.
Overall I liked the hotel, as many pointed out location is important in Seoul as the city is so huge. If I visit again, I will probably stay in one of the hotels closer to the tourist attractions.

If you need to be near your FS then I suggest Westin Chosun. You could walk it from there if you choose to.

If you prefer myeongdong, insadong, the palace, Cheonggyecheon, etc then yes PHS isn't as close by so stay at the GHS.
It is really about what you want from your location and the PHS suites my purposes just fine.
