Four Seasons Hotel Seoul
Four Seasons in Gwanghwamun at 97 Saemunan-ro, a practical northern base for palace walks, Bukchon and the Jongno dining belt without crossing the river every morning. The hotel suits travellers who want polished service beside the historic core and easy metro access into Gangnam for dinner appointments. Book through fourseasons.com/seoul; request rooms with quieter courtyard orientations when street noise matters, and confirm spa and dining hours around Chuseok and Lunar New Year closures elsewhere in the city.

While you're there
Saemunan-ro in Jongno puts Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon within walking or a short taxi. Use palace mornings early, then return for spa or Yu Yuan. For Gangnam dinners, Jungsik is a cross-town hop; confirm Bukchon visiting hours and residential etiquette.
Pro Tip: Be at Gyeongbokgung at opening, then come back for spa or breakfast; after 10:00 a.m., Bukchon’s residential lanes fill with tour groups and the quiet you wanted is gone.
- Best for
- A Jongno stay for palace mornings and Bukchon walks.
- Pair with
- A Gangnam dinner at Jungsik later in the week.
- Season / timing
- Frieze week still matters citywide; cherry blossom and autumn foliage pack palace districts.
