Hotels in Seoulan ornate five-star hotel with serviced residences in Gangnam
8.2/10
A comfortable Gangnam base with grand interiors, but some five-star rough edges.
Grand Mercure Imperial Palace is an ornate five-star hotel with serviced residences, best suited to travelers whose plans center on Gangnam. We'd pick it for comfortable rooms, old-school character and breakfast rather than cutting-edge luxury. Expedia and Accor guests repeatedly praise welcoming staff and the breakfast selection; overall feedback is strongly positive. Hakdong station is about five minutes away on foot, making it a practical south-of-the-river base.
The polish isn't uniform: recent Accor reviews flag uneven housekeeping and service follow-through alongside plenty of praise. More immediately, the sauna is closed for renovation July 1–October 31, 2026; the gym and indoor pool remain open. The outdoor pool's published 2026 season has also ended. We'd skip it for a wellness-led stay this October, or if most sightseeing is north of the river.

A comfortable Gangnam base with grand interiors, but some five-star rough edges. an ornate five-star hotel with serviced residences in Gangnam, scored for what it is.
Grand Mercure Imperial Palace is an ornate five-star hotel with serviced residences, best suited to travelers whose plans center on Gangnam. We'd pick it for comfortable rooms, old-school character and breakfast rather than cutting-edge luxury. Expedia and Accor guests repeatedly praise welcoming staff and the breakfast selection; overall feedback is strongly positive. Hakdong station is about five minutes away on foot, making it a practical south-of-the-river base.
The polish isn't uniform: recent Accor reviews flag uneven housekeeping and service follow-through alongside plenty of praise. More immediately, the sauna is closed for renovation July 1–October 31, 2026; the gym and indoor pool remain open. The outdoor pool's published 2026 season has also ended. We'd skip it for a wellness-led stay this October, or if most sightseeing is north of the river.
Best for: Gangnam business travelers; Fans of traditional grand-hotel interiors; Longer stays in serviced residences
Watch out for: Sauna renovation through October 31, 2026; Uneven housekeeping and service follow-through; Outdoor pool is seasonal and separately charged
Location: About five minutes' walk to Hakdong station; strongest for Gangnam-focused trips.
Rooms: Comfortable rooms draw praise; hotel rooms and serviced residences offer different styles.
Cleanliness: Strong Expedia cleanliness ratings, tempered by several recent Accor housekeeping complaints.
Service: Warm staff are a recurring strength, though request handling and coordination can be uneven.
Amenities: Restaurants, gym and indoor pool; sauna under renovation and outdoor pool outside its published season.
Fees and surprises: Breakfast depends on the booking; parking and seasonal outdoor-pool access carry extra charges.
