What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The look is vibrant but still restrained; accents in indigo and gold pop against a backdrop of warm neutrals, while touchable textures banish any thought of minimalism.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Dosan-daero hums right outside, and the independent fashion boutiques of Garosu-gil are a short walk away.
The rooms
Select premium rooms place freestanding bathtubs or traditional wooden hinoki soaking tubs right against the windows.
Restaurant
Amarillo
Yellow banquettes lead to the back bar, where dinner ranges from pasta to steak beside a covered terrace.
How it began
The tower stands on the site of the Yeongdong Hotel, one of Gangnam's earliest modern hotels from 1978.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
