Redesigned by Singapore’s Asylum studio, the 295-room property seamlessly fuses art-forward interiors, high-energy dining, and world-class wellness in the heart of South Korea's capital.
Sculptural Architecture & Elevated Accommodations
Far removed from standard, regular accommodations, the property transforms traditional luxury into a captivating sensory journey where whimsical folklore meets futuristic modernism. From the moment guests enter the lobby, they are transported into a playful ‘Forest Zone’ translating the classic Korean tale The Fairy and the Woodcutter into a surreal fairytale landscape. For every guest, it becomes clear that art dictates every square foot.
As a premier luxury lifestyle hotel in Itaewon Seoul, the hotel's 295 rooms and suites deliver what travellers frequently rate as the best design hotel stay in Seoul South Korea.

As night falls, Privilege commands the rooftop, serving fine single-malts and hand-crafted cocktails within a striking structure built into a repurposed cooling tower. The rooftop bar pays tribute to the Korean Legend Sister Sun and Brother Moon, offering unhindered vistas of the illuminated city below.
