[Conrad Seoul] The Ultimate Suite Upgrade to the 34th Floor: Choosing the Luxury of Staying In

For the final chapter of my Seoul stay, I chose the Conrad Seoul. At check-in, I was fortunate enough to be upgraded to a suite on the 34th floor. Opening the door revealed a sweeping spatial beauty unlike anything I had experienced before. Standing in this space, stepping back outside felt almost wasteful.

[Myeong-dong at Night] A Bustling Midnight Feast: Crafting Your Own Sauce at Dakhanmari

After wrapping up the K-beauty tour in Myeong-dong, we headed to a beloved late-night spot — Dakhanmari. Even close to 10pm, the restaurant was packed with locals and tourists alike. Dakhanmari (one whole chicken) lives up to its name: a pot filled generously with chicken and green onion. Creating your own signature sauce is the real joy of this dish.

[Seoul Myeong-dong] A Beauty Pilgrimage with the Family: K-Beauty Cruise Through Seoul’s Iconic Shopping District

From the quiet streets of Seongsu-dong, we jumped on the subway to Seoul's biggest commercial hub, Myeong-dong. The Seoul Metro — remarkably affordable and clean — never fails to impress. With Korea in the middle of a public holiday, the streets were packed with extraordinary energy, especially from the younger generation.

[Seongsu-dong] Nungdong Minari: Ultimate Water Parsley & Beef Gomtang — Michelin-Recognized Seoul

The highlight of my Seongsu-dong walk: Nungdong Minari, one of Seoul's most sought-after restaurants right now. There was a long line, but the system was so well-organized we were inside surprisingly quickly. The gomtang crowned with vibrant water parsley — a dish I'd recommend to every Seoul visitor.

The Soul of Seongsu-dong: Industrial Beauty and Extraordinary Bread at Cafe Onion, Seoul

Day 2 of my Seoul stay. Taking Line 1, I made my way to Seongsu-dong — the city's most energetic neighborhood right now. The destination: Cafe Onion, a true landmark of the area. A renovated former factory where exposed concrete and rusted steel beams radiate a unique beauty born from time.

The City That Never Sleeps: A Night in Seoul’s Dongdaemun — Start of a 3-Night Journey
