You can take bus No. 6701 directly from the airport to the hotel. People usually choose to stay at the Westin Josun Seoul because it is located in the city center.

#Ho-kangs #Seoul Introducing the Western Chosun Seoul Hotel with a long history! Isn't it amazing to see a traditional view in the middle of Seoul!? I also highly recommend going down at night and taking a walk around Hwangu-dan The lounge happy hour and breakfast didn't have many options, but the quality was good, and especially the happy hour had a lot of alcohol..🥂 I recommend the Westin Chosun for Seoul vacation❗️ -I used the executive king room (I requested the Hwangu-dan view when checking in) -If you pay an additional fee for the lounge breakfast, you can use it as an Aria breakfast!! -Lounge benefits: You can use the sauna, gym, and swimming pool The swimming pool was not crowded and was very nice,,👍 -The last photo is the executive lounge X It's a drink I ordered at the lounge bar in the hotel I really recommend the lounge bar❤️

In the summer, when you say mango bingsu! This is where you can see red bingsu all over the lounge. It is the lounge of The Westin Chosun. The Westin Chosun has more watermelon bingsu than mango bingsu, so there were many orders for watermelon bingsu in the lounge. We were curious about the taste, so we ordered it, and we were all satisfied with the sweet and crunchy texture. The black seeds of the watermelon were cleverly expressed as small chocolates. I recommend this unique bingsu restaurant 👌 📍The Westin Chosun 🔹️106 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul 🔹️Check-in 3pm Check-out 12pm 🔹️The lounge with the Hwangu Dan view is the best! . . #Ho-kang-se #Hotel-bingsu #Hotel-lounge #Chosun-hotel

If the Hwangudan, a symbol of the Korean Empire, is right in front of the lobby lounge! The lobby lounge of The Westin Chosun Hotel boasts a great view of the Hwangudan right in front of the window. I was surprised to see that it was much closer than it looked in the picture. Although I was far from the window, I had no problem viewing it^^ . . 📍The Westin Chosun 🔹️106 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul 🔹️Check-in 15:00 Check-out 12:00 🔹️The lounge with the Hwangudan view is the best! . #Ho-kang-se #Hwangudan #Lobby-lounge

Westin Chosun Hotel - Lounge & Bar ⠀ 🥃 You can feel elegance in modernity. ⠀ People also have an aura. When you see someone full of inner strength, you can feel elegance just by looking at them. This lounge is exactly that feeling. A heavy feeling made of dark wood that gives off an old-fashioned feeling. The view of Hwangudan in front. The harmony of these two is overwhelming. It feels like a living witness to the history of Korean hotels. ⠀ 🍸 Recommended bar seats ⠀ I had a lot of trouble choosing a seat. The seat closest to the window. And the bar seat. I chose the bar seat because I visited not for a meal but to have a quick drink. I didn't regret choosing the seat. The view of Hwangudan (Hwanggungwoo) right in front. The bartender's splendid performance. The splendid lighting and various liquors provided. It felt like it soothed my tired body and mind after work. I want to visit again anytime. ⠀ 🙋 Things to check when visiting at night. ⠀ I visited at night and the atmosphere was so good. A quick drink. But it's perfect for visiting when you want to create a good atmosphere. But you should know this. I found out after visiting. After 8 PM, there is a cover charge of 10,000 won per person. 10,000 won per person. It may feel a little steep, but a simple side dish of sparkling water is included. The composition was better than I thought, so I didn't feel that the 10,000 won price was a waste. ⠀ 🕵️‍♂️ It feels different from Shilla and Lotte. ⠀ Chosun, Shilla, and Lotte are the leading groups in the domestic hotel market. When I visited the Westin Chosun Lounge this time, it looked different from those two hotels. ✔️There were a lot of foreign customers at the Westin Chosun Lounge! I could see the clear difference that it is operated by the Westin brand of the Marriott group. ✔️The market positioning itself is a little different! The Westin brand is a premium line, not a luxury line. When I visited it in person, it was a hotel that gave a comfortable feeling of historical antiquity and elegance rather than a hotel that made my mouth drop in glamour. #Ho-kang-seu

📍 106 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, The Westin Chosun Seoul Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Facilities: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✅ A hotel that has been around since the Japanese colonial period in 1914 ✅ The oldest hotel in Korea officially recognized by Guinness ❗️Antique and quaint 🆙 ❗️Renovated and refined 🆙 ❗️I prefer the Hwangu-dan view room It was a hotel I didn't expect, but it was better than I thought~ However, the hotel check-in counter lobby is a little bit inside It was a pity that there wasn't much space to rest for a while #HotelReview

Address: Westin Chosun Seoul, Nine Gate Atmosphere/Facilities: Luxurious and friendly atmosphere Key Points: Hwangu-dan View Anniversary Dessert Lettering Average Price Per Person: Mid-to-late 100,000 Rating: 5 points #Westin Chosun Hotel #Nine Gate #Fine Dining

I picked up the cake at the Westin Chosun Hotel. I reserved a banana cake, and it was full of bananas and the cake was very soft, so it was very delicious. It is located near Myeongdong Station, and you can freely change or cancel your reservation up until the day before, so it seems easy to make a reservation without any burden! I recommend it if you need to order a cake for Christmas or New Year's Eve.

Address: 106 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul Atmosphere/Facilities: The atmosphere is perfect for a vacation. The facilities are good and clean Key points: The hotel front shot and the lobby room window view are great Average price per person: 270,000 Rating: 4.56 #Ho-kangs #Hot place #Hotel recommendation #Seoul #Fall travel #Seoul restaurants #Seoul accommodations

#Ho-kang-su 📌 Location: 1st floor of Westin Chosun Seoul Lounge & Bar 📌 Review: In the summer, you can't buy hotel bingsu even at a wicked price, right? This year, I tried watermelon bingsu at Westin Chosun Lounge & Bar and it was delicious. The atmosphere was quiet and I healed while looking out the window #HotelBingsu #WestinChosun

-Address: 106 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul -Atmosphere/Facilities: 1. The class of the Westin Chosun Seoul is reflected in its service. From the hotel entrance, you will feel that the staff cares for customers without any burden. The hardware may be behind the absolute standard, but the power that leads to customer satisfaction through classy service. I think this is the class of the Westin Chosun that has been created for 100 years, the 100-year experience. 2. A hotel with 100 years of history I actually thought the rooms were a bit old, but except for the feeling of being a bit narrow, there was no corner, and it felt heavy and sophisticated, so I liked it. I think the view of Hwangudan played a big role in that 👍🏻 I think it created a unique atmosphere that you can't see anywhere else by adding tradition to tradition. 3. Possible to have a pig-friendly meal! This hotel is also famous for having high-class restaurants that you might have heard of at least once, such as Hongyeon, Aria, and Dussi. But! The lounge and breakfast are honestly lacking in variety. But they are all delicious, so I can forgive them. If you come here with the intention of eating, you will be disappointed, and if you come here to have a drink, it is a size that you can say "Oh!", so if you come here with too high expectations, you will feel bad~ 😋 - Rating: 3.8/5 (out of 5) #Ho-kang-seu #Hot-place #Hotel-recommendation #Westin-Chosun-Hotel #Westin-Chosun-Seoul

1st floor Lounge & bar Lounge & bar where afternoon tea is available Hours: 14:00~18:00 Afternoon tea for 2 people 85,000 won The advantage of the Westin Chosun Seoul's afternoon tea is that you can have a leisurely tea time while looking at the Hwangudan view~ The Westin Chosun Seoul afternoon tea set is a set that appears on the menu in a 3-tier plate, and you can choose 2 cups of tea as you like. I ordered one teapot and one refreshing coconut-flavored coffee. In addition to afternoon tea, you can also use the bar and food in the lounge, so many people spent a leisurely afternoon~ Sometimes, if you are tired of crowded cafes, I recommend having the Westin Chosun Seoul afternoon tea! I took a picture of the menu in the last photo, so please refer to it! #AfternoonTea #HotelRecommendation

The Westin Chosun Seoul Check in 15:00 Check out 12:00 Location: 106 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul 5-star Executive 1 night 300,000 won~ The Westin Chosun Seoul is an old hotel, but I didn't feel that the facilities were outdated. It had a sophisticated and modern feel at the same time. The room I stayed in this time was the Executive Room. The Westin Chosun Seoul is so spacious that it has proper furniture in each section so that both business travelers and leisure travelers can stay comfortably. You can even enjoy the view of Hwangudan from the room! Nothing is missing. #Ho-kang-seu #Hot-place #Hotel-recommendation

The interior is dark wood-colored, so it has a classic feel. It is an old hotel that opened in Gyeongseong in 1914, but it feels well-maintained, and the spacious rooms and the Heavenly Bed bedding that guarantees a good night's sleep are a wonderful experience of being sucked into the softness! (Bathroom robes and towels are all Heavenly products) The best part of a vacation is the swimming pool! The Westin Chosun Hotel's swimming pool is an indoor space, but it feels even more cozy because of the natural light coming in through the ceiling. The pool floor is warm, and there is a jacuzzi, so it was a great swimming pool to enjoy with children. (There is no limit to the number of times you can use the pool on weekdays, but on weekends, you can use it once per night/Friday to Sunday is the weekend) At the club lounge located on the 20th floor, which is the highest floor, you can enjoy tea time/cocktail hour/breakfast with a view of City Hall & Myeongdong You can use it only once per night for 1 hour from 5 PM to 9 PM Only those 14 years or older can enter You can enjoy cocktail hour in your room as it is a to-go service The gym facilities that I visited the next morning were well-equipped in terms of size and equipment Workout clothes and socks are provided as basics, and sneakers can be rented. The sauna facilities were also very good (It was better to visit in the morning because it was more spacious.) Overall, the staff's service was very friendly, so it was a very satisfying stay. The view of Hwangudan is more popular than the view of Myeongdong. The location is really great, as it is right next to the Lotte Department Store and Shinsegae Department Store, as well as the Siheung Station Hotel. I understand why it is famous as a cost-effective vacation hotel in Seoul. #Ho-kangs #HotelRecommendation #SeoulHotel

Address: Lotte Hotel Seoul Executive Tower (Euljiro) Atmosphere/Facilities: Luxury Gym Key Points: Croffle Restaurant Average Price Per Person: 650,000 Won (1 Night Room Including Lounge) Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Let me introduce you to Lotte Hotel breakfast! Lotte Hotel is famous for its Aria Buffet, but the lounge breakfast here was also delicious~ I especially loved that I could make and eat croffles! The fruits were fresh, the juice was delicious, and although there weren't many kinds of vegetables, there was nothing that wasn't delicious. 🙂 I went with the Executive Tower Le Salon package, and since everything was included, I could really have a real vacation👍🏻 #Hotel Buffet #Hot Place #Hotel Recommendation #Breakfast Restaurant

Address: Westin Chosun Aria Buffet, Jung-gu, Seoul Atmosphere/Facility: One of the top 3 buffets in Seoul Key Points: Really delicious!!! It was the best buffet Average price per person: Weekday lunch 11.5 / Dinner, weekend 13.5 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aria has a great atmosphere and great taste for special occasions👍🏻 Meat, sashimi, and crab quality… 🤭🤭🤭 I've been to many hotel buffets, but this is the best.

I visited the restaurant 'Aria' at the Westin Chosun Hotel that I've always wanted to visit. The price was a bit burdensome, so I usually didn't go, but I went there to cheer myself up because it was a special day. Most hotel buffets serve crab, but Aria was the only place where you can eat crab warm, so I was most attracted to it. In fact, I thought I could get full just by eating a few plates of this, but I got tired of it more than I thought, so I couldn't eat much. But I was still plump, so I ate deliciously. They have all the menus for Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Western food, and there were so many kinds of food that I couldn't even eat. It's a place that you can't visit in one visit. I was disappointed, so I decided to visit again next time. I started with salad, and ate until I was full from the main dish to dessert. It took more than 2 hours just to eat. Evian water and soda water were provided for each table, and when I finished drinking, the staff checked and filled my drinks without me having to ask first. The only regret was that there were no sodas. Alcoholic beverages such as carbonated drinks or beer must be ordered separately. My seat had a nice atmosphere, including a small garden outside the window. However, other places besides the window had so many tables that it might have been a bit crowded. Overall, it was a very satisfying buffet. #RestaurantExploration #HotelBuffet #WestinChosunHotel #GrandJosunAria

If you want to experience a serene atmosphere in the heart of Seoul, I recommend the Hwangudan view rooms at The Westin Chosun Seoul. The view of Hwangudan outside the window offers a landscape rich in history and tradition, making you feel like you're traveling through time. The modern facilities and comfortable bedding, along with the tranquil view of Hwangudan outside the window, help you forget the fatigue of daily life. You can enjoy a sense of relaxation even in the city center. Address: 106 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, The Westin Chosun Seoul

Without breakfast and a swimming pool, it seems like there's nothing to do when staying at a hotel with kids. That's why, when planning a hotel outing with children, I always prioritize checking the breakfast and swimming pool conditions first. During our recent stay at the Westin Chosun Hotel, both the breakfast and swimming pool were satisfactory, allowing us to enjoy a pleasant indoor date with the kids. ➡️ The Westin Chosun Seoul ⏰️ Check-in at 3 PM, Check-out at 12 PM 🚩 106 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul
