“Baroque Myeongdong romance, dark rooms”
L'Escape, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Myeongdong trades on a perfect location: the airport bus stops opposite, Hoehyeon station has a direct lift, and Myeongdong's streets lie five minutes away with Shinsegae behind. The 19th-century French romantic red styling — verging on baroque — is well maintained despite the hotel's age, the concierge is outstanding, breakfast is few in items but superb in quality, three Michelin-starred restaurants sit upstairs, and sweet delights with happy hour delight. Gripes: a charged-for toothbrush, and rooms dark enough to hamper video calls.
