“The Ambassador Seoul strikes me as a property of contrasts: guest rooms blend classical grandeur with modern comfort, and its history stretches back to 1955. I see a comprehensive suite of leisure facilities, including yoga and even a golf driving range, that sets it apart. Given the several dining options that span Korean to Western cuisines, I think it's a solid choice in Seoul.”
