From the hustle and bustle of Jongno and Myeongdong, to the rich cultural tapestry of Insadong, the chic and sophisticated Gangnam, the pulsating nightlife in Hongdae, and the international flair of Itaewon – Seoul has something for every kind of traveler.
Today, we’re turning the spotlight on the stylish and ever-so-popular district – ‘Gangnam’.

“Attention, readers! While the hotel rankings in this post are compiled based on aggregated customer ratings, remember they aren’t absolute. Please bear in mind the following points!
– Price: Keep in mind, hotel prices can swing dramatically based on your stay dates. We’ve used weekday rates as a guide, but remember, prices can change according to the season, whether it’s peak or off-peak, and depending on if it’s a weekend or a weekday.That said, we’ve made sure these are prices for the same date, making them ideal for a fair comparison between hotels.
– Hotel Classification: We’ve applied hotel classifications based on the standards set by Agoda.
– Rankings: We’ve prioritized hotels with high ratings from three different sites(Agoda, Booking.com, and Google Maps). However, don’t overlook the fact that there could be many hidden gems among the lower-ranked or not-included hotels in this post.”
