Orakai Cheonggyesan Hotel, BW Premier Collection

Perched on the city edge by Cheonggyesan Mountain in Seoul's Seocho-gu, this urban-resort hotel sits about 15 km from the city center. It's a short drive from Seoul Arts Center and Seoul Grand Park, with COEX, Pangyo and Gangnam within easy reach — Lotte World and the National Museum of Korea are also nearby.

Think resort vibes in the city: a square-shaped hotel with a peaceful courtyard called The Ora Dining Garden and terraced suites that offer private balconies. The property has 193 air-conditioned rooms with Smart TVs, refrigerators, bathrobes and slippers, plus in-room coffee/tea facilities and safes. Expect a calm, modern décor that leans toward urban healing and staycation-ready comfort.

Stand-out facilities include the only sauna near Cheonggyesan Mountain, a fitness center/gym and a 400-meter rooftop track — perfect for waking up to crisp mountain air. You'll also find coin-operated washers/dryers, a convenience store, free self-parking and a 24-hour front desk. Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property.

Equipped for meetings and events: a 24-hour business center, four board rooms and Diamond Hall with automatic screens, projectors and full audio setups. Free self-parking and on-site concierge services support corporate guests.

Level B1 serves Italian-forward dishes — pasta, pizza, steak and BBQ platters — alongside craft beer, whiskey and wine. The Ora Dining Garden connects to the restaurant for al fresco moments, and illy CAFFÈ on the first floor handles serious coffee cravings. Breakfast options include a buffet (and continental breakfast service is offered 7:00–9:30); limited room service is available.
