Service, amenities, quality, food, location—everything was superb at The Shilla. Special recognition goes to the hotel staff, who went above and beyond with every interaction and request we had, even for those beyond the hotel's scope. I would gladly stay there again anytime. It is a destination in itself.

The Shilla Seoul delivered a flawless luxury experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional and the staff were warm, professional, and genuinely attentive. My dinner at the Michelin-starred La Yeon was a true highlight, offering world-class cuisine with breathtaking views. Every detail felt thoughtful and intentional, making this one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had.

I have really enjoyed my stay here , as I had very good rate at this time. Even though it's inconvenient, far away from many activities, it's ok as the room and service are very good. I have tried to book again for my next trip but the rate has doubled.

The atmosphere of the hotel is calm and elegant. All the staff are well-trained, polite, and provide excellent hospitality. The room was clean and comfortable. However, it was a bit disappointing that there was only one chair in the room, despite there being two of us.
