Best Hotel Stay in Seoul – Grand Hyatt Seoul Review

A Dreamy Staycation at Grand Hyatt Seoul – Luxurious Views & Delicious Eats!

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a well-planned, well-enjoyed, and absolutely indulgent staycation! And this time, my destination of choice? Grand Hyatt Seoul! 🎉

Since I had a glorious four-day vacation, I wanted something close by but still felt like a true getaway. After scouring the internet, Grand Hyatt Seoul popped up, and the moment I saw Poolside BBQ, I was SOLD. I could already picture myself basking in luxury, sipping on a cocktail by the pool, and devouring delicious grilled treats. 😆

Grand Hyatt Seoul – A Perfect Urban Escape

📍 322 Sowol-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul

Lorem ipsum dolor sit s soon as I arrived, I knew I had made the right choice. Nestled right next to Namsan Mountain, this hotel felt nothing like the middle of Seoul. Instead of the usual city chaos, I was greeted with breathtaking nature views and a wide, open space that immediately put me in vacation mode. 🌿🌆

Of course, they do have a Han River view, but after reading reviews that it’s more of a “palm-sized glimpse” of the river, I made the smart decision to go for the Namsan view. And boy, was it the right call!

🚪 As soon as I stepped into my room—BAM! There it was: an unobstructed panoramic view of Namsan, complete with Namsan Tower standing proudly in the background. Absolute perfection!

At that moment, I thought, “Honestly, I could just sit here, stare out the window, and feel 100% relaxed without doing anything else.” 🤩

The King of All Beds 👑

Let’s talk about the bed. Because OH. MY. GOD.

This king-sized wonder had me questioning all my life choices. Why have I been sleeping on anything less luxurious all this time?!

Super soft, ridiculously fluffy, and basically a cloud you can lie on. It swallowed me up the second I touched it, and before I knew it, I was out like a light. Best sleep ever. 😴💤

My friend and I literally slept like babies—morning, afternoon, and night. It was the ultimate rest fest. 😂

Room Service Heaven 🍽️

One of my main goals for this trip? Do absolutely nothing and just eat good food while lying in bed. Mission accomplished. ✅

Even before unpacking, my first instinct was to grab the room service menu because I was STARVING (I hadn’t eaten all day—big mistake).

I ordered:
🍚 Jeju Abalone Rice Set (aka, a taste of Jeju in a bowl)
🍝 Bolognese Spaghetti (because comfort food is life)

And 30 minutes later—ta-da! The feast arrived. 🍽️✨

Now, let me tell you… eating a delicious meal while gazing at the stunning Namsan view? Unmatched.

Every bite was incredible, but my favorite part? The abalone rice had crispy scorched rice at the bottom (hello, childhood nostalgia!). Only downside? Portion size was a bit small. A grown adult would probably need an extra bowl of rice to feel completely satisfied.

But did I regret anything? Nope! It was so good that I wanted to lick the bowl clean. 😆

The Ultimate Breakfast Hack 🍳

Of course, the next morning, I found myself back in the room service game.

This time, I ordered:
🥢 Korean Breakfast Set with Galbi-jjim (Braised Short Ribs)
🥢 Jeju Grilled Hairtail Fish Set (swapped white rice for stone pot rice!)

Now, here’s a pro tip for future visitors:

✔️ The Korean Breakfast Set includes soup, side dishes, fresh fruit, salad, juice, and tea/coffee.
✔️ The Korean Breakfast Special is just a single main dish (and somehow more expensive if you swap to stone pot rice).

Guess which one gives way more value? The Korean Breakfast Set! 🙌

Honestly, I don’t know why they price them this way, but if you want the full breakfast experience, go for the set!

Now, let’s talk taste.
🥩 The Galbi-jjim? 10/10, no notes. Soft, flavorful, not too sweet, not too salty—just PERFECT.
🍲 The seaweed soup came in a stone pot and stayed warm for ages! Such a small detail, but it made the experience extra cozy.

And the grand finale? Korean ginseng tea with honey. 🫖 Absolute healing vibes. 🌿💆‍♀️

The Perfect Staycation Spot 🌟

As my trip came to an end, I realized something—Grand Hyatt Seoul is an all-day, all-season luxury spot.

By day: Serene nature views, stunning blue skies, and a peaceful retreat from the city hustle. 🌿☀️
By night: Twinkling fountain lights, a glowing Namsan Tower, and ultimate relaxation mode. 🌙✨

Would I go back? Absolutely, 100%, no doubt in my mind.

Final rating: 5/5!

If you’re looking for a luxurious staycation in Seoul, Grand Hyatt Seoul is THE place to be! 🎉
