I redeemed my accrued Hilton Honor points worth of 102,000 points to book 2 nights stay at Seoul, South Korea during January 15, 2019 to January 17, 2019. You can see the redeemed points down below.

Conrad Hilton Seoul is located at Yeouido, Seoul South Korea, which is the main financial district with the South Korea government departments overlooking Han River.

Now, I hopped the subway station to travel from Dongdaemoon’s Courtyard-Marriot to Yeoido. As I arrived, I was surprised to see the huge entrance looking like this.

Conrad Hotel entrance is very grandeur

Amazing thing about this place is that, beside the elegant decoration, the ceiling is very high. I have to lift my head and look up to see the ceiling.

Elegant decoration with a sense of modern touch

The multiple elevators are available, and they are brightened by the golden lining lights. Whoever designs this, I have to give a thumbs up.

Golden lights feel mysterious as you walk toward the hallway

Finally, I am at my room. Unfortunately, I could not get a VIP room and the VIP lounge even though I am a Hilton Gold. The description says that the Hilton Diamond member will be guaranteed to get the top floor with VIP lounge access, but the Hilton Gold member has a “chance” to get the VIP room. Oh, well, it is still good and roomy. Hilton still gave me an upgrade to the next level, however.
