ASMALLWORLD is currently offering at 3-for-2 deal for stays at the Conrad Seoul until December 31. Known as one of the best hotels in the South Korean capital, with prices usually above the €300 mark, this is a great deal – especially as it includes free breakfast, US$100 (~€93) to spend at the hotel during your stay, and even gets you double Hilton Honors points and is a refundable fare.
The 3-for-2 promotion is officially valid until December 31, you can book three nights for room rates of €250 or less. The prices remain quite consistent throughout the year, with rare fluctuations of no more than €20-30 during the week. As indicated by our availability calendar, weekends are typically more expensive. Please remember that you have to select three green dates to get the best price possible.
The rooms at Conrad Seoul are very large, measuring 48 m2. You’ll be granted an upgrade (based on availability). This upgrade will probably consist of you getting a view of the river, which may not sound like much, but is definitely worth it because the view is stunning.
The Hotel
The Conrad Seoul is an elegant hotel, located on top of IFC Mall and directly across The Hyunday Mall, some of the most high-end shopping centres in Seoul. The hotel offers all the usual 5-star hotel amenities, such as 24-hour room service or a gym. There are various restaurants on-site, where you can spend your US$100 (~€93), e.g. a steak house on the top floor with a beautiful view of Han River and the Namsan Tower.
I stayed at this hotel in May and was very satisfied with the room, breakfast, and location. The room was absolutely high-tech, with automated blinds, a huge TV, a Dyson hairdryer, and much more. Breakfast offered both Western and Korean dishes. Hilton Diamond members also get lounge access, on the top floor.
Yeouido Park is just a short walk away and probably the best park along the Han River. Also, there are many bus lines in direct proximity to the hotel that’ll take you almost anywhere in the city, and the subway can take you directly, e.g. to Gimpo Airport and Gangnam. The subway station can be reached underground through the IFC mall, which can be very useful on rainy days.
Price Check
As you can see, the price for 2 and 3 nights is basically the same, so you are just saving the difference of the rate, but also you are getting all the perks from ASMALLWORLD.
While you’re paying €244 per night with breakfast (and other extras) at ASMALLWORLD, Hilton charges €435! That means that you’re saving more than 50%. Add the double points, the upgrade, and the US$100 (~€93) hotel credit, and you might actually be saving quite a bit more than the 3-for-2 percentage of 33%.
You’re also paying a good price compared to other 5-star hotels in the area, such as the Fairmont Ambassador Seoul, across the street, which charges around €354/night (refundable with breakfast).

it’s a great hotel.
Does anyone know if stays booked via asmallworld count towards Hilton status? I thought you had to book directly with Hilton for the nights to count. Thanks!
These rates are eligible rates, as ASW books them through Hilton, so they should count towards Hilton status. That’s why you also get Hilton Honors points when booking through ASW (in this case even double points)
Ich war auch im Mai da und muss sagen es war das schlechteste Conrad in dem ich jemals übernachtet habe.
Happy hour in der Lounge war nur mit Reservierung möglich und maximal eine Stunde. Genauso wie der Pool Bereich. Nur maximal 2 std pro Tag nutzbar und dazu musste man noch eine Badekappe kaufen für 10€ um den überhaupt nutzen zu können. Wurde auch erst bei check out erzählt und nicht vom Pool Personal. Zimmer dazu ganz schön klein und viel zu wenig Aufzüge für die Größe.. Zu Stoßzeiten hab ich teilweise 10!! Minuten auf nen Fahrstuhl gewartet.
Das Four Seasons ist 10x besser.
Komisch, ich hatte im Mai keine Zeitslots für Loungenutzung, und das Zimmer ist mit 48 m2 alles andere als klein (auch nicht gefühlt). Die 6 Fahrstühle hatten bei mir auch gereicht. Dass der Pool nur 2 Std. pro Tag nutzbar war stimmt, hatte mich nur nicht gestört, da ich ihn überhaupt nicht genutzt hatte.
Thank you. This is my fav site to look for deals. Any hotel deals for Shanghai? 🙂
