An urban oasis nestled away in the slopes of Seoul’s Mount Namsan, Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul is a fully equipped urban resort that lives up to its high global reputation of offering its guests exclusive opportunities to experience true luxury.

For travelers and city dwellers alike, Banyan Tree offers an escape from the chaotic bustle of urban city life to bask in its exclusive hotel and spa on the resort’s 70,000-square-meter property.

Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul, which consists of both a private member’s club and a public hotel, is the first such facility for the award-winning hospitality brand. Setting itself apart from other Seoul hotel establishments, overnight hotel guests are uniquely identified as club members during their stay and are given exclusive access to club facilities such as outdoor and indoor swimming pools, saunas, indoor and rooftop gyms, a golf range, tennis courts, futsal and other members-only restaurants and bars.

With just 16 rooms and 18 suites ― each equipped with relaxation pools in every unit ― and an allotted maximum of four rooms or suites per floor, the hotel prides itself in catering to its guests’ privacy.

And with the hotel’s international reputation for some of the world’s best spa facilities and treatments centers, the world-class Banyan Tree Spa is undoubtedly one of the hotel’s highlight attractions.

The Banyan Tree Spa offers a range of services to hotel guests as well as the general public. The spa features 11 treatment rooms, including five deluxe single rooms, four deluxe double rooms and two spa suites. All treatment rooms include bathrooms and relaxation areas and the spa suites are equipped with Rainmist rooms, as part of the spa’s signature Tropical Rainmist bathing experience.

Along with its indulgent spa offerings, the hotel features one of the city’s most well-regarded outdoor pools ― The Oasis. In the summertime, the sprawling outdoor rooftop pool is the perfect place to escape the scorching heat in a cooling and picturesque oasis-like environment while overlooking Namsan’s natural splendors.
