There’s no better landmark of luxury than The Shilla Seoul. Having opened its doors over 40 years ago, with luxe renovations since then, it sets the standard for five-star living and time-honoured hospitality. Standing proudly on Namsan Mountain and surrounded by cascading traditional Korean buildings, the statuesque hotel sits among 23 acres of private wooded parkland and looks over Seoul’s commercial district. A must-visit property, The Shilla Seoul maintains a unique position as the first South Korean five-star hotel on the annual Forbes Travel Guide from 2019 through 2022.
