What it’s good at
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Fairmont went big for its first hotel in South Korea: the Fairmont Ambassador Seoul... occupies one of the tallest skyscrapers in the country.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in Yeouido, the tower connects directly to The Hyundai Seoul department store and sits steps from Yeouido Hangang Park.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Han River vistas, while leather armchairs and marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs anchor the bedrooms.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor lap pool sits beneath geometric ceiling panels, lined with cushioned loungers and daybeds.
The gym and saunas
Dark stone soaking pools and dry saunas sit beside a fitness center fitted with Technogym Artis machines.
Restaurant
Mariposa
The 29th-floor dining room serves modern European dishes beside red steel columns and opens onto a riverfront terrace.
Bar
M29
Mixologists shake bespoke cocktails behind an arched marble counter set against panoramic nocturnal views of the Han River.
At the table
Breakfast buffets line the executive lounge, and glass-roofed terrace tables look straight out across the Han River.
How it began
Opened in 2021 within the Parc.1 complex, the tower's scarlet steel trusses echo the ceremonial red pillars of Korean palaces.
