Fodor's Expert Review JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul
279 Cheonggyecheon-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Seoul, South Korea Fodor's Choice
The prime location across from Heunginjimun Gate along with luxurious amenities make the neighborhood’s only 5-star hotel worth the splurge. Serene, minimalist rooms and suites contrast with the bustling scenes of Dongdaemun Square out the floor-to-ceiling windows. A highlight is the marble-clad indoor pool area that has a fireplace and three sparkly chandeliers making it feel positively palatial.

- indulgent spa
- kids’ pool and seasonal children’s activities for families
CONS
