Stay here: Signiel Seoul review

The Signiel Seoul is dressed to impress with its towering height and wide-reaching panoramic views of Seoul, but there’s much more the hotel has in store.

What’s the deal?

At an ear-popping 87 to 101 floors atop Lotte World Tower, Seoul’s tallest landmark, the Signiel is the jewel in the crown of the well-heeled area of Jamsil, with spectacular views of Lotte World theme park and Seokchon Lake. Certain rooms also offer Han River views from their big cedarwood bathtubs. 

Why stay?

Lotte World Mall, one of the city’s largest, is downstairs; the hotel is not far from Gangnam district, and just 20 minutes by taxi to Apgujeong Rodeo’s buzzing restaurants, bars and clubs. The subway is just three minutes’ walk away. What’s more, beautifully appointed meeting rooms, the Salon de Signiel  club lounge with iMac workstations, and a sky-high spa, pool and gym make for plush and well-rested trips.

Don’t miss 

Both of the Signiel’s restaurants have been awarded one Michelin star: Bicena  offers modern Korean cuisine, while Stay  by Chef Yannick Alleno offers one of the most refined breakfast spreads we’ve seen.
