1. A Forbes Five Star hotel that's been around forever and still sets the standard in Seoul. The Shilla sits right against Namsan Mountain, tucked behind the old city walls, which sounds like it should feel historic and dusty but somehow manages to feel genuinely grand and modern instead. The crowd here is well-heeled business travelers and the kind of leisure tourists who don't ask about the minibar prices. Serious luxury in the middle of the city.
