Hotel The Designers
Hotel The Designers has over 10 hotels all over Seoul, of which some are in the popular tourist destinations like Hongdae, Dongdaemun and Seoul Station. What makes Hotel The Designers different is that each hotel room across all the hotels, has their own theme so no two rooms are the same! They have every theme imaginable from Alice in Wonderland to the Milky Way. So take your time to pick!

Various locations islandwide.

Hotel Cappuccino
Located in the business district Gangnam, Hotel Cappuccino would be the perfect place to stay for travellers! Their urban styled rooms has all the facilities you would possibly need and amenities such as a work station and gym. Another awesome part about this hotel is the fact that your beloved pups can come along too! They have bark rooms and service and the portion of the earnings will be donated to KARA, a local charity that helps abandoned dogs. Too sweet.

Hotel Loft
Hotel Loft is some what like the Studio M in Singapore. You can choose to stay in either a penthouse loft or a suite if the stairs scare you. But just so you know, there's a treadmill upstairs. They have 15 different types of guest rooms, each with different styles but they will all be up your alley if comfort is your top priority.

Imperial Palace Boutique Hotel
Are you a fan of pop art? Because there are pop art murals in every room at the Imperial Palace Boutique Hotel! Their distinct interiors are also worth mentioning. I mean, you are greeted with swings and high bright yellowed sofas in the lobby. What else are you going to expect here!

Rakkojae
Have you wondered to yourself when you watch K-dramas how it feels like to stay in a traditional hanok with beds on the ground, low tables and cool natural jade flooring? Here's your chance to try it out during your stay in Seoul! This 130-year-old hanok was transformed into a guesthouse that offers visitors the opportunity to experience traditional Korean culture with authentic Korean dishes and music!

Hotel April
All suites at Hotel April are quipped with their unique scent diffuser, an air purification system, organic cosmetics developed by the hotel itself and we saved the best part for last, a Jacuzzi and terrace! They have 4 different rooms including a spa room which has an even larger Jacuzzi and a steam sauna! You're going to need it after a long day of shopping Seoul streets.

Metro Hotel
It might be difficult to find a room while travelling with a large family. But fret not for Metro Hotel's got you! They have family suites and twins with 2 queen sized beds, flex suites with 3 queen sized beds and even a kid's playroom when you need to catch up on some snooze. Very considerate indeed.
