Located in the heart of Seoul, JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul has become an important landmark along with the newly opened futuristic building Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Park in Seoul’s prominent commercial and historic district of Dongdaemun.

As the only luxury boutique hotel in the Asia-Pacific region, the 11-story hotel offers 170 guest rooms, including 19 executive sky view rooms and 15 suites; an indoor pool; a 24-hour fitness center; a spa; and a Bose-equipped grand ballroom for weddings and conferences.

Along with its luxurious and stylish rooms, the hotel boasts an eclectic range of restaurants and bars that attract food connoisseurs from home and abroad.

The all-day buffet restaurant Tavolo 24 provides a variety of dishes both Western and Korean all at once. Health-conscious guests can indulge in detox juice prepared by the hotel’s vegetable sommeliers. The restaurant is currently serving its winter seasonal menu featuring fugu sashimi, fugu salad and fugu soup.

Guests can also enjoy the classic NYC steakhouse ambience at the first Korean branch of the American multi-outlet restaurant BLT Steak. The restaurant offers its signature dish premium dry-aged steak, paired with BLT Steak’s rich gravy and the classic popover bread ― delightful news for the restaurant’s loyal fans.

For fresh pastries and coffee runs, Seoul Baking Company is the place to be. An open-kitchen bakery there serves cakes, breads, sandwiches, salads, coffee and juice for a tasty grab and go during the day.

Overlooking the glittering skyline of Dongdaemun, The Griffin Bar ― a rooftop bar with indoor seating and an outdoor terrace ― is a place to be for visitors expecting the most vibrant and sophisticated nightlife in Seoul. As night falls, guests can sip a glass of wine selected from an extensive list of over 300 labels, a smooth cocktail crafted by the award-winning bartenders or try a selection of fine cigars.
