Royal Hotel Seoul
Have you ever seen this hotel located right across from Myeongdong Cathedral? It catches the attention of many even in the daytime, but when the sun goes down, it shines so brightly you can't take your eyes off it.
Royal Hotel Seoul is a 4-star hotel located halfway between Myeongdong Station and Euljiro Entrance Station, being just a 6 minute walk from Euljiro Entrance Station. Conveniently located on the edge of the main street, it is easily accessible after sightseeing in Myeongdong.
Lobby
When you enter the hotel from the front entrance, you will find yourself in a lobby that seems to have no end. The attention to small details such as the colors and arrangements of the furniture is what makes the lobby so stylish. If you go straight into the lobby, the check-in counter is on your left, and there also is a cafe and bar in the back, which we will talk more about later.
Also, there is a waiting area on the right side of the front entrance, where you can relax and plan the next thing on your itinerary.

Our Visit
During our visit to Royal Hotel Seoul, we stayed in a Premier Twin Room. As with the lobby, the rooms are spacious so you can open your suitcases comfortably, which will earn extra points from tourists with a lot of luggage.
There is a TV in front of the bed and in between are a couple of chairs and a coffee table.
There is also a work desk next to the TV, which is big enough for two to spread out two computers side by side.
The room comes with a large window, where the sun gleams just enough sunlight into the room.
Another feature of the Royal Hotel Seoul is that all rooms are equipped with a bathtub! Take a relaxing bath after a tiresome day of travel.
In the closet, which automatically lights up when opened, gowns and slippers are available for use, and there is also a safebox at the bottom of the closet.
Amenities
The 2 bottles of water, the tea placed inside a wooden box, and the drip coffee bags are all complimentary.
In addition to the mugs, there are also two wine glasses, so come celebrate a special day with some wine at Royal Hotel Seoul.
Toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and finally body cream all come with the room as well. They have everything from loofas to shampoo, so you can pack light!
Facilities
On the 21st floor, which is the top floor, is a restaurant with a grand kitchen selected exclusively by Michelin.

On the menu are specialty coffees, homemade cakes, and alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine. Coffee and tea can be taken to go, but keep in mind that the price may vary from when you have it in the cafe.
