Located in the Central Business District, north of the Han River, Mandarin Oriental, Seoul will be ideally situated among many of the city’s leading cultural landmarks, business addresses and lifestyle destinations. With just 128 guestrooms and suites, the hotel will offer an intimate and residential atmosphere, drawing on the character of a curated private club. Designer André Fu has been appointed to create the interiors, blending understated elegance with design elements that capture the essence of destination.
Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental, Laurent Kleitman, said: “Seoul is a dynamic cultural and economic hub and we are proud to be announcing our entry into this important market. Mandarin Oriental, Seoul will reflect our commitment to thoughtful growth, offering an experience that captures the essence of the destination while delivering the legendary service and design our guests expect.”
Culinary experiences will be a central feature of the hotel. Guests will enjoy a destination restaurant on the 21st floor with panoramic views of the city, while the 20th floor will be home to two distinct culinary concepts, one with an elevated international style, echoing the spirit of SOMM at Mandarin Oriental, The Landmark Hong Kong and another specialising in refined Chinese cuisine. A high-end Korean Chef’s Counter will also be located on the same floor, offering an immersive and theatrical dining experience. A number of the dining venues will include private dining rooms, for intimate, exclusive gatherings.
