The Shilla Seoul Hotel was awarded the title of the Best Hotel in Seoul
by world-famous Zagat World’s Top Hotels, Resorts and Spas for six consecutive years and was once again recognized as the representative hotel in Seoul.
Just like The Shilla Seoul, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the Zagat, reporting on the shared experiences of consumers.

Input from 21,783 avid travelers including 1,626 travel agents and meeting planners forms the basis for the ratings and reviews, which increases the credibility of the survey.
Zagat highly appraised The Shilla Seoul by commenting “a staff that’s always willing to help makes this upscale stalwart a heavenly way to Seoul; cutting a wide swath into a hillside in the Jung-gu neighborhood, its attractions include two pools, a phenomenal spa, a garden that’s perfect for a meditative stroll, an extensive duty free mall and a complex of excellent restaurants”
In the Seoul region, Ritz Carlton and W Seoul placed 2nd with an average score of 22.5 following after The Shilla with an average score of 23.75 out of 30.
