What Hilton Hotels to stay in Korea?
Conrad Seoul
Short Review by 👩🏻❤️👨🏻: 5/5
We really enjoyed staying in Conrad Seoul. It is located in the center of Yeouido Business District. The hotel offers stunning views of the river and city skyline, and it is situated across from Yeouido Park.
All staffs were attentive and ready to speak English. When Louise was not feeling well upon arrival, they prepared a bath and mild food options for us. The hotel’s atmosphere is very calm and sophisticated. We stayed there around Christmas week, and we were fortunate to see the student choir singing carols.
Our room was a deluxe double room. Thanks to Hilton Gold status, we got a bottle of wine as a welcome amenity. The room was classic, beautiful, and very clean.
Overall, our stay at Conrad Seoul was very nice. We recommend Conrad Seoul and would love to stay there again.

Pros & Cons:
Hilton Garden Inn Seoul Gangnam
Short Review by 👩🏻❤️👨🏻: 4.7/5
Hilton Garden Inn Seoul Gangnam is the most value-for-the-price hotel in Gangnam Business District. Being one of the most crowded places in South Korea, there are local hotels that are poorly managed but with a high price tag. This hotel may not be the cheapest hotel in the area, but certainly live up to Hilton’s reputation with affordable cost.
Location is absolutely convenient with 2 minutes walk from a subway station that can help you move around Seoul with ease. There are COEX, Chungdam Fashion Street, Garosugil, and more to make another day in Korea more interesting.
We stayed there as a Hilton Honors Gold Member, so the hotel offered us a free upgrade, breakfast, and late check-out as compliments. The staff service is seamless and spot-on. Having 40% of their rooms labeled as “family-type” and a roof-top outdoor pool in the center of Gangnam, this hotel will definitely give a good time for family travelers as well.
If you are planning on a Gangnam tour with best value, we would love to recommend this hotel.

Pros & Cons:
DoubleTree by Hilton Seoul Pangyo
Short Review by 👩🏻❤️👨🏻: 4.8/5
DoubleTree Pangyo opened in April 2023, being the first full-service upscale hotel in Seongnam. DoubleTree’s reputation is not stellar, but this brand-new property is probably the most luxurious one out of all its properties, which makes it a must-visit hotel if you are planning a trip to the outskirts of the Seoul area.
We really liked the forest around the property during the stay. Having a walk after breakfast was very relaxing, feeling magical that it is just minutes away from the busy Pangyo skyline.
This hotel offers relaxing forests, a clean indoor pool, a tennis court, a rooftop bar, a fitness center, a sauna, and spacious rooms. In spite of being a DoubleTree, the hotel has an executive lounge that provides a breakfast buffet at Demeter restaurant and happy hour. Another good news for family travelers is that the lounge accepts kids!
The location is not the best, as there is no major attraction close to the hotel. But there is a subway station that is a 15-min walk from the hotel, so you can still move around corners of Seoul and the Gyeonggi area.
Considering the affordable price, great brand-new facilities, and nice seclusion from city views, we would definitely recommend this hotel.

Pros & Cons:
DoubleTree by Hilton Seoul Pangyo Residences
Short Review by 👩🏻❤️👨🏻: 4.8/5
DoubleTree Pangyo Residence is the same property as Double Tree Pangyo, but only it offers “residence-type” studio rooms that are equipped with a kitchen, a mini refrigerator, a microwave, and a laundry machine for extended stays.
We stayed two nights in 1 King Bed Studio room, and it was very pleasant. The spacious 31 sqm room gives a cozy and comfortable experience. Other than different room configurations, amazing brand-new facilities such as forest views and indoor pools, were the same as staying in one of the DoubleTree Pangyo hotel rooms.
If you are considering a longer stay with family in Korea, we would definitely recommend this property.

Pros & Cons:
Ananti Hilton Busan
Short Review by 👩🏻❤️👨🏻: 5/5
Located east of Busan near vibrant Haeundae Beach, Ananti Hilton Busan sets a new benchmark for Korean destination hotels. This beachfront ‘urban resort’ offers top-notch facilities and service against the backdrop of the stunning Korean coastline. Ananti Hilton Busan is perfect for both couples and family getaways.
Spacious guest rooms starting at 60sqm with private balconies make your stay at this hotel calm and relaxing. 4 distinctive restaurants and bars, and 3 indoor and outdoor swimming pools set this property untouchable by its competitors.
Our stay at Ananti Hilton Busan was exceptional. The hotel is well-maintained, fully-staffed, with excellent food and customer service. We booked for two nights in 1 Premium Double Room with a mountain view, and thanks to Hilton Gold, it was upgraded to an ocean view. The spacious room was classic and luxurious.
The breakfast buffet had a lot of food options to choose from, and the quality of the food was amazing. Indoor and outdoor swimming pools will leave you speechless with panoramic ocean views with nothing between you and the ocean: the true ocean view you can get in Busan.
The hotel room accepts up to three people. The regular price is for two, and they charge around $30 for one more.
We highly recommend this hotel if you want to experience the best ocean view in Busan.

Pros & Cons:
Hilton Gyeongju
Short Review by 👩🏻❤️👨🏻: 4.3/5
Hilton Gyeongju serves as the perfect hub to explore the ancient Korean Silla Dynasty capital.
The hotel sits right next to a beautiful Bomun Lake. Although it opened in 1991, all facilities are recently renovated and well-maintained.
We believe the core of a hotel is the experience of its staff. With its long history, Hilton Gyeongju is famous for its quality of service. During our stay for the famous Gyeongju Cherry Blossom Festival, we were lucky to have English support from the Concierge and the staff were attentive and professional.
We recommend this hotel when you plan a trip to the beautiful ancient capital of the Korean Silla Dynasty.

Bottom Line
If you are looking for luxury during the trip to Seoul, we would recommend trying Conrad Seoul. For the best value in Seoul, go for Hilton Garden Inn Gangnam. If you are having a longer trip with family, go for DoubleTree Pangyo. For an exceptionally beautiful ocean view of Korea, stay at Ananti Hilton Busan. If you want to see the traditional beauty of an ancient Korean dynasty, relax at Hilton Gyeongju.
That’s it for the Hilton Hotels in Korea.
Happy traveling! 😀
