I am not sure which ones do. I have done Plaza, Sheraton Seoul Palace and CY Namdaemun and all have stated 12 and under aren't allowed in the lounge in the evenings. I can't remember seeing any kids at any time in the Sheraton or Plaza lounges. CY Namdaemun there always seem to be kids. Maybe they let them in at nights now? I've stayed there so often I can't remember.

Take a look at the Conrad via FHR as well since they sometimes do 4th/5th night free and booking via FHR gets the hotel restaurant.
When I stayed at the Westin last year, they did offer my wife and me free breakfast at Aria as a welcome amenity. Although my son was not technically covered by this gift, the restaurant declined to charge me for him all 8 mornings as well.

Kids under a certain age eat for free in Korea.

I've narrowed down my priorities to the most important one haha: For Platinum Elite, who offers best breakfast?

Ryse
Any Fourpoints
Any Courtyards
Any Sheratons

Also, best way to email hotel directly? where do i find email addresses? Ive been messaging on facebook and no replies.

Thanks in advance <3

RYSE will be the best but rates will be higher than everyone else. CY Times Square offers breakfast and happy hour in their restaurant as they don't open their lounge for breakfast/happy hour. CY Namdaemun only offers breakfast in their lounge except on select days where they send people to the restaurant due to low occupancy or staffing issues (major Korean holidays and very slow periods). Sheraton Palace only offers breakfast in their lounge and I would say it's the worst one out of the hotels I listed so far.

Probably RYSE has the best quality.

I'm usually a LC/STR type but I found the breakfast and location of the Aloft unbeatable for the rate. I actually liked the breakfast more than Westin or JW. ID like to try the new Autograph I think

New autograph looks great! Lack of Sauna at the Ryse, and great reviews (korean reviews and blogs) of Le Meridien lounge food offerings are what my decision came down to.

Upon reading a lot of Korean reviews,,,, it seems like we should avoid korean hotels during holidays -_-

Just booked into the Moxy Insadong for four nights. So far pretty decent - room is a decent size (even a tiny desk) and the bathroom is definitely larger than Moxys I'm used to. Reception on the top floor is a bit odd. Breakfast for 22k wasn't made to sound at all appetising.

Here while I look for something longer term so just wanted cheap. So far so good.

No suite upgrades as a Plat? Breakfast isn't a benefit either, right? I remember the rates there were really cheap. Upside of that location is being near a lot of restaurants.
