Choosing a hotel in Seoul
We're arriving in Seoul late next week for our first visit to Korea. I currently have both the Conrad and the Andaz booked for our time in Seoul and need to cancel one. I've got both Diamond and Globalist status so that's not really a factor in my decision. Both hotels appear to be sold out for the 5 days we're there. They both seem to be about the same distance to what I'll call Central Seoul. Any reason I should pick one over the other?
Thanks!
Thanks!

You are probably already in Seoul now. I'm just posting this for future reference. Location-wise, the Andaz will have the advantage of being right next to the Subway station. Whereas the Conrad will be a block away from 2 stations. But if you are looking to go into Central Seoul, I think the Conrad might be easier. Taking either a bus or taxi, it is more or less a straight shot over the bridge and into downtown Seoul.
