2025 Forbes Travel Guide: Top Hotels in South Korea The Forbes Travel Guide has officially announced its "2025 Forbes Travel Guide" through its official website on the 12th. Known as the "Michelin Guide for hotels," the Forbes Travel Guide employs anonymous evaluators who visit hotels worldwide each year, assessing facilities and services based on nearly 900 strict criteria. Hotels are then categorized into three ratings: 5-star, 4-star, or recommended hotels. 5-Star Hotels 1. Four Seasons Hotel Seoul https://www.khan.co.kr/article/202502131049001 Four Seasons Hotel Seoul was initially awarded a 4-star rating in the 2017 Forbes Travel Guide but was later upgraded to a prestigious 5-star rating in 2020. Since then, the hotel has consistently maintained its 5-star status for six consecutive years. 2. The Shilla Seoul https://www.job-post.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=128242 The Shilla Seoul holds the distinction of being the first and only South Korean hotel to retain a 5-star rating for seven consecutive years. The world-renowned Forbes Travel Guide recognizes The Shilla Seoul for its personalized customer service and exceptional restaurant operations. The hotel's seamless customer service, extending from check-in to check-out, along with its considerate and thoughtful approach, has been highlighted as one of its key strengths. 4-Star Hotels 1. Paradise City & Art Paradiso https://www.edaily.co.kr/News/Read?newsId=01521926642071176&mediaCodeNo=257&OutLnkChk=Y Paradise City, which achieved 4-star status in the shortest time among South Korean hotels in 2020, has continued to focus on enhancing its service and offering a differentiated customer experience. This year, the hotel's restaurants received high praise for their innovative menu creations and gourmet experiences crafted by top chefs. Art Paradiso, another 4-star recipient, is a luxury boutique hotel where all 58 rooms are designed as suites, ensuring an exclusive and opulent stay for guests. 2. Park Hyatt Seoul https://www.forbestravelguide.com/destinations/seoul-south-korea Park Hyatt Seoul, subtly nestled among Gangnam’s towering skyscrapers, stands out with its exclusive hidden entrance that leads to a sky lobby offering breathtaking panoramic city views.
