Conrad Seoul
(5 stars)
TLE Recommends: Bar 37 isn’t just a bar but a restaurant, too, at the Conrad Seoul’s very top. With its American steakhouse vibes and stunning views over central Seoul, sultry jazz sets the mood under atmospheric lighting. For dinner try a triple whammy of Uni and King Crab Toast, Ember Grilled Octopus and Soft Ember Grilled King Crab; an Ocean extravaganza if ever there was one. Situated in Yeouido, Seoul’s financial district, the Conrad towers above its basement IFC shopping mall and boasts hypnotic views over River Han and central Seoul’s tower block architecture. There’s a minimalism, an unfussiness and a preciseness which makes for a clean and pleasant stay. Don’t forget your swimming cap if you’re that way inclined or your golf clubs if you prefer a good swing and both 37 Bar and the Executive Lounge, next door to each other on the top floor, are both worth carving time out of your schedule to sit back and enjoy.
