I did not end up using Hotwire during my trips in Chicago and Vancouver so I did not update the prior threads back then but I've updated them now. I'm on the verge of purchasing another hotel using another site in the Gangnam area since it appears the Seoul Hotwire activity on this site remains pretty low. However, if anyone has any input, that would be appreciated.

Please follow-up your threads with whatever you did do for the trip... not just what you didn't do.  This helps keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone; as well as being a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your travel plans.

 

For your Seoul trip how about this 5 star Gangnam-Gu hotel (confirm your dates on the landing page) for $120/nite with Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Restaurant, Free Internet, Free Parking, Business Center, Fitness Center... as well as an excellent 9+ user review rating?  My guess for this one would be the Intercontinental Seoul Coex.

 

Does this one work for your plans?  If not, what is it that you are looking for in a hotel for this trip?

 

If you don't book thru PRICELINE or HOTWIRE, it would be appreciated if you booked thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com.

 

Let us know whatever you decide for this stay or how we can be of further help.

Got it. I thought I was supposed to update only if I booked a hotel and discovered the identity. I'll update no matter the result moving forward. As for this trip, I ended up going with another option. 

 

I would have been interested in the Grand InterContinental Seoul Hotel but not the regular Intercontinental Seoul Coex because the latter is pretty dated and is in need of a dire renovation. This is for an upcoming bachelor party so we wanted a nicer hotel if possible.

 

Thanks for all the help.
