While still very historic at its core, Seoul is a cosmopolitan, trendsetting mega-city full of luxury hotels in futuristic skyscrapers. The ever-resourceful, artistic South Koreans have turned each historic "dong" (neighborhood), located within a wider "gu" (district), into fantastic urban playgrounds. Visitors with limited time often like to stay in the historic inner city, but Seoul's modern residential neighborhoods have many great hotels too. When researching Seoul's best hotels, keep in mind that it's safe and easy to get around by taxi and subway and that there are wonderful parks and restaurants, as well as quirky museums, bars and shops, no matter where you stay.
