THE PLAZA Seoul, Autograph Collection stands across from Seoul City Hall Plaza, which puts Myeongdong, Euljiro and Gwanghwamun within easy reach. Staff handle everything from check-in to asking about any discomfort at check-out. Deoksugung and the Seoul Metropolitan Library are within 100 metres, while the sauna, fitness centre and pool are in a separate building. Standard rooms are small and feel cramped.
