What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Hotel Anteroom Seoul takes its inspiration from an earlier era, when it was known for its modest ambitions and for the gingko trees that line the road.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Dosan-daero runs right outside, putting the boutiques, cafes, and ginkgo trees of Garosu-gil steps away.
The rooms
Rooms take cues from artists' workshops, fitting raised platform beds and warm timber against raw concrete walls.
At the table
TELLERS 9.5 pours cocktails among nineteenth-floor artbook shelves. Downstairs, a long communal table sits beside a living wall.
How it began
Originally conceived in Kyoto, this 2020 opening marks the Japanese hospitality group's first outpost outside Japan.
