The Shilla Seoul

The Shilla Seoul sits in the Jangchung area on the slopes near Namsan, a green, quieter part of central Seoul. The hotel has long been a favourite for business and leisure travellers, and the city centre, markets and palaces are a short ride away. It suits families, couples and those seeking traditional luxury.

Known for grand service, the hotel has an elegant, polished atmosphere and a beautiful garden pool that is a highlight in warm months. A spa and family-friendly facilities add to its appeal, and rooms are comfortable and well kept. The style leans classic and formal, with a sense of heritage that reflects its long standing in the city.

Taxis are the simplest way to reach the main sights, and the nearest subway stations are a short ride or a manageable walk, depending on your route. The hillside setting means some streets are sloped. Outdoor pool access is seasonal, so check availability for your dates, and book early for spring and autumn.
