Had a lovely two day stay there last weekend. Very easy to find if you come out of Exit 1 at Samseong Station.
Upgraded to a suite (Globalist and Amex Fine Hotels) on the 20th floor. Breakfast in Cornerstone was great each morning.
Staff could not have been nicer - jumping to call the lifts as we came in to the property and transferred lifts on the 24th Floor.
Noise from the road can be a little bothersome, but overall I really enjoyed it and would recommend the place.

I’m looking for updated pricing info for the breakfast buffet at the Cornerstone restaurant. I’m staying nearby but not in this hotel. I’ve read many good things about their breakfast buffet but would like to know the cost and any other info like specific food descriptions if you could be so kind. I’m in town for a few more days so hoping to hear back from everyone quickly.

Perhaps, but FS is too far from Gangnum for breakfast. Thank you for saying Cornerstone selection is small as with us, quantity and selection makes a good first impression.

JW Marriott Seoul's breakfast buffet might be better since the entire hotel underwent a renovation. The only other hotel nearby PH is Le Meridien.

What happened to the two IC properties near but on opposite sides of CODEX?
Also, if you mean the JW at Design Center, it's very far.
I'm confused as I know that you know Seoul very well.

I meant the newly renovated JW Marriott Seoul at the Express Bus Terminal in Gangnam and totally forgot about the ICs. I've never stayed at the ICs and they're probably on the 2nd tier of Seoul luxury.

Just a heads up, my friend recently stayed at the hotel and stated the $100 credit through FHR, Virtuoso, and Prive is essentially useless. Front desk will give you a card stating what F/B options are excluded. This includes in-room dining and various items in all restaurants. A pretty cheap move imo...
