Why we recommend it
Andaz Seoul Gangnam is the most direct way to stay in Apgujeong, the part of Seoul where fashion, beauty and the music industry meet. The hotel connects straight to the metro station, and the shops and galleries of the district are at the door. The design has a clear idea behind it: Studio Piet Boon worked from bojagi, the wrapping cloth.
It is a lifestyle hotel rather than a grand one, and that is its use. The rooms are bright, the restaurant floor is lively, and The Summer House, with its pool, baths and saunas, gives a taste of Korean bathing habits without leaving the building. Travellers wanting something more formal in Gangnam can look at Josun Palace, covered in OKYTO's opening report.
Location
The hotel is in Apgujeong, in Gangnam, south of the Han River, with direct access to Apgujeong metro station.
