Park Hyatt Seoul review: 185 rooms and suites on Teheran-ro in Gangnam, a 23rd/24th-floor indoor infinity pool, Ocelas Spa, and who should book a business-district stay over a historic or nightlife-district one.
Park Hyatt Seoul is a 185-room and suite hotel at 606 Teheran-ro in Gangnam, opened in 2005 and renovated in 2022, built around some of Seoul's most spacious standard rooms (48–52 square meters), a 23rd/24th-floor indoor infinity pool, Ocelas Spa, and three named dining venues.
The verdict
Park Hyatt Seoul Review: Gangnam's Business-District Suite Address
Park Hyatt Seoul pairs some of the largest standard rooms in the city with a genuine business-district address opposite COEX — the trade-off is a Gangnam base built for meetings and leisure together, not the historic-palace or nightlife-district energy of Seoul's other luxury addresses.
Who should book
In favour
- Travelers combining Gangnam business meetings with a genuine leisure stay, where a short walk to COEX matters
- Guests who want above-average standard-room space (48–52 sqm) rather than a compact city-hotel footprint
- Anyone who wants a high-floor indoor pool and spa as part of the stay, independent of weather or season
Worth knowing
- Travelers chasing Seoul's historic-palace hotels or a Myeongdong/Hongdae nightlife base — Gangnam is a business district first
- Anyone picturing an open-air rooftop pool — the 23rd/24th-floor pool is indoor, glass-enclosed
- Confirmed current per-category suite rates before booking — these move with season and are not fixed on the official site
The property and location
Park Hyatt Seoul occupies a 24-story glass-curtain-wall tower at 606 Teheran-ro in Gangnam, directly opposite the COEX Convention and Exhibition Center. The hotel opened in 2005 and was renovated in 2022. Gangnam is Seoul's financial and business district, which places the hotel closer to corporate Seoul than to the palace district (Jongno) or the Myeongdong/Hongdae nightlife areas. Travelers chasing Seoul's historic-palace hotels or Myeongdong/Hongdae nightlife energy should skip this address unless a Gangnam business-district base genuinely fits the trip.
Rooms and suites
The hotel has 185 guestrooms in total: 147 standard rooms and 38 suites, each ranging from 48 to 52 square meters — among the most spacious standard-room footprints in Seoul's luxury hotel tier. Rooms and suites carry floor-to-ceiling windows with city views and en-suite granite bathrooms with an oversized bathtub and a separate rainshower. Per-category suite counts and current rates are not fixed on the official site and should be confirmed directly before booking.

Pool, spa, and dining
The pool is an indoor, granite-lined infinity-style pool spanning the 23rd and 24th floors, lit by floor-to-ceiling windows rather than open to the sky — a genuine amenity, but not the open-air rooftop pool the phrase sometimes implies. Ocelas Spa, on the same upper floors, runs three private treatment rooms and a citrus bar. Dining is anchored by three named venues: Cornerstone (grilled meats, seafood, and house-made pasta), Timber House (a sake and soju bar built around fresh sashimi and sushi), and The Lounge (Korean and Western cuisine).
