Despite being a thriving metropolis of 9.6 million people and having hundreds of thousands of hotel rooms, it can be surprisingly challenging to find the perfect place to stay in Seoul—especially if you’re traveling with family.
This is when JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul enters the picture. Situated in Dongdaemun—the centrally located neighborhood home to South Korea’s largest wholesale market bearing the same name—the 170-key hotel seamlessly caters to multi-generational vacations, whether you’ve got children in tow or are visiting South Korea’s capital with your elder parents. Even better? You can rest easy during your entire stay, thanks to the property’s EED Gold certification and its state-of-the-art air purification system.
Available through the end of the year, the property’s Bugaboo Baby Suite, an exclusive collaboration with the high-end Dutch baby brand Bugaboo, provides parents and infants spacious accommodations in an Executive Suite outfitted with top-quality furnishings and gear, including the Fox 5 all-terrain stroller, Stardust travel crib, and Giraffe high chair. The suite also offers access to the Executive Lounge for daily breakfast and evening hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, so busy parents have one less thing to schedule.
For parents of toddlers, the hotel is offering JW Kids Bliss, a package created in partnership with the Danish furniture brand Anderson that’s also available through December 31. In addition to a restful stay in a Deluxe Room specially decorated with Anderson’s signature high-quality wood furnishings and toys, guests will also be gifted an exclusive JW Kids eco-friendly tote bag, a Family by JW experience kit, and a JW Kids bathrobe. In addition, breakfast for two adults and two children under the age of 12 is complimentary for Marriott Bonvoy members.
For multi-generational travel involving just adults, JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul has delicious perks galore. Through September 18, The Lounge is serving up a colorful summer afternoon tea called Amante del Mango. Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean’s breezy lifestyle, the tea set features mango-flavored treats, including a mango bingsu and apple mango tart, alongside savory bites like a Lobster Crispy Gimbap. From gruyere popovers and sizzling chops at BLT Steak, which is widely considered one of Seoul’s best steakhouses, to live music and nightcaps at Griffin, the hotel’s 11th-floor lounge, there’s no shortage of things for grown-ups to savor during a family vacation at JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul.
