Why Seoul for a Anniversary Escape trip
Celebrate in Seoul with a mix of heritage and modern glamour. Rent hanbok for a stroll through Gyeongbokgung Palace and the alleys of Bukchon, then dress up for a modern Korean tasting menu that reinterprets royal court cuisine. Choose a suite with views over Namsan or the Han River, and end the evening at the top of Namsan, where the city lights spread out in every direction around N Seoul Tower.
Seoul is a city of palaces, mountains and bold contemporary design, where luxury hotels sit beside royal gardens, along the Han River or in the boutiques of Gangnam. Expect sleek rooms, polished service and a dining scene that runs from modern Korean tasting menus to late-night grill houses. It balances tradition and trend with remarkable energy.
When to go: April to May and September to November bring pleasant temperatures, cherry blossoms in spring and colorful foliage on the surrounding mountains in autumn. Summers are hot and humid with a monsoon season, and winters are cold and dry.
