The Westin Chosun

The Westin Chosun
The Westin Chosun Seoul is Korea’s first international hotel. This classic hotel was built in 1914 with the first running water, elevator and ice cream in the country, attracting celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Bob Hope. Rebuilt in the 1960s and fully renovated since then, The Westin Chosun is within walking distance of the headquarters of major international banks, local government offices, historic landmarks and thriving shopping districts
The hotel has 462 guest rooms and 40 suites with the Westin Heavenly Bed, anti-allergy carpets, self-serve espresso coffee machines, mobile phones and high-speed Internet access. Guests can access a business center with state-of-the-art conference rooms and a drug store, barbershop, beauty salon and souvenir shop as well as the City Athletic Club, a Pilates studio, a swimming pool, steam and dry saunas and whirlpools. For corporate events and weddings, there is the Grand Banquet Hall, six mid-sized banquet halls and conference rooms.

In all my stays at The Westin Chosun, I have found outstanding rooms, service and food. Simply put, my stays have been exceptional.

Dining and Entertainment
The hotel has six restaurants to choose from: Aria (international buffet with 10 different cooking stations), Hong Yuan (Chinese), Sushi Cho (Japanese sushi), The Circle (pastries and drinks), The Ninth Gate Grille (international- style brasserie) and Vecchia e Nuovo (deli). I recommend the rack of lamb at the Ninth Gate Grille, where seating offers a beautiful view of the Wongudan Altar next to the hotel.
