Suites are available in two categories: the Courtyard Suite (54 sqm / 581 sqft) and the Park Suite (51 sqm / 548 sqft corner unit). Both are one-bedroom suites featuring a separate living room, soaking tub, walk-in shower, bidet, seating area, and park views. Notably, Courtyard Suites include an in-room stationary exercise bike. Off-peak suite rates start around 350,000 KRW (approx. $250 USD) for Courtyard Suites and 390,000 KRW (approx. $280 USD) for Park Suites including tax.

For this stay, I booked a baseline 1 King Guest Room. The rate at booking was approximately 230,000 KRW (approx. $165 USD) per night including tax (room only), which represented good value for a Seoul property. The rates seem to have risen slightly since.

I am a traveler who loves to look closely at the details of the world and decode the structure behind them. Whether it's the vibe of a new city or a small act of kindness, I believe every experience on the road has a hidden reason and context. Rather than just stopping at 'it was great,' I enjoy using a curious lens to explore the deeper stories and multi-layered appeal of my surroundings. By constantly asking questions and connecting with new cultures, people, and food, I am writing my own vibrant collection of travel stories.

  • πŸ—“οΈ Mar 2025 Stay | 🌏 Seoul, South Korea | πŸ›οΈ Courtyard Suite

    8/10 (πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ‘) While the location at the far west of Seoul might be polarizing, the accessibility to Magongnaru Station and Seoul Botanic Park, the spacious Courtyard Suite upgrade, and free breakfast and coffee passes made this Courtyard highly satisfying, especially for Marriott Elite members. The fundamentals of the hotel itself were also very solid.

  • πŸ—“οΈ Oct 2024 Flight | πŸ’Ί First | ✈️  A350-1000

    10/10 (πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•) The best lounge, overwhelmingly spacious seating, highly refined in-flight meals, excellent liquor selection, and attentive service made this an extremely satisfying flight, easily one of the best First Class experiences available on a single-decker today.

  • πŸ—“οΈ Feb 2026 Stay | 🌏 Incheon, South Korea | πŸ›οΈ Standard Single with Shower

    7/10 (πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ—πŸŒ‘) The biggest advantage of this Incheon Airport capsule hotel was being able to rest without leaving the airport. While the room was small and the shared bathroom was a limitation, it was a very practical choice for resting a few hours before an early departure or after a late-night arrival.

  • πŸ—“οΈ Nov 2025 Flight | πŸ’Ί Economy Comfort | ✈️  A350-900

    7/10 (πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ—πŸŒ‘) Thanks to the bulkhead Comfort seats, lounge access, and good in-flight entertainment, it was a quite comfortable flight for long-haul economy. However, the small meal portions, limited beverages, and single complimentary alcohol service were a pity, making this a flight that is much more satisfying if you hold Oneworld elite status.
