Grand Hyatt Seoul renovates suites and guestrooms
The Grand Hyatt Seoul is offering renovated premium guestrooms and executive suites following 10 weeks of refurbishments.
All guestrooms and executive suites on floors 15 to 18 underwent significant upgrades to reinvent the rooms for modern travelers while embracing and maintaining the integrity of the original design by famed interior architect John Morford.
Room layouts have been adjusted to reflect changes in contemporary guest expectations and room design, but the distinctive golden-oak finish and clean lines of Morford's original design have been retained, with subtle references to Korean culture introduced.
A custom-designed white-painted glass panel between the bathroom and bedroom connects the two areas and maximizes the overall sense of space while allowing natural light and views to penetrate the bathing area. Based on geometric patterns found in traditional Korean bojagi wrapping cloth, the striking panel adds a local, artisanal element to the space and acts as a glowing lantern at night.
