Best Seoul Hotel Breakfast – Grand Hyatt Seoul Review!

The Ultimate Breakfast Experience at Grand Hyatt Seoul – Stunning Views & Delicious Mornings!

Taking four whole days off after two years? Sounds like a dream (or a little sad… sniff). But if I’m going to take a vacation, I’m going to do it right! That meant one thing—a luxurious hotel staycation! 🎉

Now, if you ask me,
“What’s the most important thing when choosing a hotel?”

I’d answer without hesitationBREAKFAST.

Forget the pool, the gym, or the fancy amenities. For me, hotel breakfast is the ultimate “I’m on vacation” moment. There’s nothing like waking up, half-asleep, stumbling into a breakfast buffet, and slowly coming to life with each delicious bite. And that moment when I look outside and think, “Oh? I’m on vacation?” Pure bliss.

So naturally, I booked a breakfast package without a second thought! 😆

Grand Hyatt Seoul – The Terrace Breakfast Buffet 🍽️

📍 322 Sowol-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul

Grand Hyatt Seoul serves breakfast at The Terrace, their buffet restaurant.

Morning? Breakfast.
Afternoon? Brunch.
Evening? Dinner buffet.

And with a name like “The Terrace,” I expected an open, breathtaking view to go with my meal. Let’s just say, it did not disappoint. 😍

Early Birds Get the Best Seats!

As much as I love a cozy hotel bed, breakfast was my top priority. So I forced myself up at 7 AM sharp and headed straight to The Terrace.

Pro tip:
✔️ Arrive before 8 AM for a peaceful, crowd-free experience.
✔️ After 9 AM, it gets super crowded with a long wait time.
✔️ Best strategy? Eat early, go back to bed for a nap. 😆

By the time I got there, half the tables were already full. Clearly, I’m not the only one who takes breakfast seriously.

But here’s the best part: I got a window seat! 🌿☀️

Gorgeous morning views, delicious food, and total vacation vibes? Absolutely perfect.

Breakfast Highlights – My Must-Eat Picks!

🥚 Made-to-Order Omelets
A must at every hotel breakfast! Plus, the staff at the omelet station were so friendly (and kinda adorable 🥰). Every morning, I got my warm, fluffy omelet while secretly enjoying the wholesome energy of the chefs. 😂

🥐 Ham & Cheese Muffin
This was hands-down the best baked good on the menu. Warm, slightly crispy on the outside, cheesy and savory inside—a perfect match for coffee!

🥤 Juices – Could Be Better
There were about five juice options, but they tasted a bit watered down. Would’ve been amazing if they were fresh-squeezed! I tried one, but after that, I stuck to coffee.

Coffee Bar – A Pleasant Surprise!
A small coffee station with a barista? Yes, please! You can order various types of coffee, and they even offer almond milk lattes! 💯

The Real Star – The View!

Even with the rainy season looming over Seoul, I somehow lucked out with clear skies every morning.

Sipping coffee, enjoying breakfast, and gazing at the stunning Namsan view? Unbeatable.

The food itself? Good, but not mind-blowing. There are hotels with fancier breakfasts, but what truly makes Grand Hyatt Seoul’s breakfast special is the atmosphere.

If you’re lucky enough to get a window seat, it elevates the entire experience. Being in the heart of Seoul but feeling like you’re on a peaceful getaway? That’s the magic of Grand Hyatt Seoul. 🌿✨

Final Verdict – Worth It?

✔️ Food: Decent, with some standout items 🍳🥐
✔️ View: Absolutely stunning 🌄
✔️ Vibes: Relaxing and perfect for a slow, peaceful morning ☕

Would I come back for the breakfast alone? Maybe not.
Would I come back for the full experience of the view + vacation feels? Absolutely!

If you’re planning a stay at Grand Hyatt Seoul, I highly recommend booking the breakfast package—especially if you love starting your day with beautiful scenery and good food.
