With a staycation, you can enjoy all the lounge benefits for 2 days and 1 night in a business suite, have afternoon tea, happy hour, and breakfast, and go to the swimming pool and sauna. 24 hours a day is not enough, but since it is directly connected to House of Shinsegae, there is a lot of food.

Celebrating the happy anniversary of JW Marriott Seoul, 25 Years of Timeless Hospitality. It is the wonderful Gala with full of flavors! It's the little things that make the big things possible. Only close attention to the fine details of any operation makes the operation first class - J. W. Marriott The property presents me with this first class and good memes. The best JW Marriott for sure!!

The relaxed tea time atmosphere at the JW Hotel Lounge is really nice. I was surprised to see so many customers using it even though it was a weekday. Seoul’s Inchance! I think I should go to Seoul often.

It's a shame there's no Cafe One, but it's still nice to be able to enjoy simple salads, sandwiches, and coffee here. Since it is a lounge, the prices are more expensive than Cafe One, so it is better because it is easy to use because there are not many people. Another advantage is that it is not noisy.

I went there because there was a pharmaceutical workshop, but I arrived too early due to dark streets in Seoul, so I went to The Lounge on the 8th floor. Whenever I have to visit a good hotel, I always try to have a cup of coffee. It's expensive, but the atmosphere is different in each place, so it's fun.

Margaux Grill is upscale dining for European contemporary cuisine with good harmony between hardware & software. It is urban oasis surrounded by a beautiful garden with special cuisines and exceptional variety of wines. It is also meaningful for me to visit this restaurant after new GM is appointed for the JW Marriott Seoul. Recommend: Burgundy Snails, French Onion Soup, Seared Lonster and Scallop

I feel this every time I come to use the hotel lounge, but the photos really don't come out well... The refreshments and cups are not pretty and look old-fashioned. In particular, since the two-person seats tend to be placed close together in the far corner, a wide sofa in the center is recommended. The female employees' makeup is so heavy that I keep staring at them (this is the first time I've ever had a lounge employee serve me with makeup like this, with eyelash extensions, eye makeup, and skin makeup...)

Use the Flavors buffet. Oh my god. LA ribs are greasy and smell like lamb ribs, and the braised ribs and sirloin are very tough. The seafood is average. There are a lot of things, but the quality of raw ingredients and recipes are very low. The quality of the Chinese food is low.. they are not used. The fruit sweetness is also low. They come out with completely overripe melons... How can it be a 5-star hotel? I was so surprised that it was a buffet. The head chef here said on a previous TV show that they were very picky about sourcing and managing ingredients, so I was very disappointed. I won't go back after paying this money. Even though I just went for a meal, it was a waste of money. If you are going to commemorate a special day, it would be better to just stick to the main menu and go to a place with a good atmosphere.
