These are the newest hotels in Seoul, and they're a mixed bag in the best way. Two sit in Myeongdong, the city's shopping heart, where you'll find Moxy Seoul Myeongdong (a lively 3-star from 237,697 KRW) and Le Meridien Seoul Myeongdong (a 5-star with an indoor pool from 357,960 KRW). The third, Hotel Naru Seoul - Mgallery Collection, is a riverfront 5-star starting at 287,217 KRW. All three are rated 8.9 or higher, so your pick comes down to whether you want the buzz of Myeongdong or the calm of the Han River.
For a first visit, Myeongdong is hard to beat. It's central, walkable, and packed with shopping and food, with easy subway access and airport buses. Two of the three newest hotels are here—Moxy Seoul Myeongdong and Le Meridien Seoul Myeongdong—so you'll be steps from the action.
Among the newest hotels, prices start at 237,697 KRW at Moxy Seoul Myeongdong and go up to 357,960 KRW at Le Meridien Seoul Myeongdong. The riverfront Hotel Naru Seoul - Mgallery Collection sits in the middle at 287,217 KRW.
Two of the three—Moxy Seoul Myeongdong and Le Meridien Seoul Myeongdong—are in Myeongdong, which has direct airport bus connections. The riverfront Hotel Naru Seoul is also accessible, though you'll likely need a taxi or a combination of subway and bus.
For a luxury stay, the two 5-star options stand out. Hotel Naru Seoul - Mgallery Collection offers river views and a standout breakfast, while Le Meridien Seoul Myeongdong includes an indoor pool and is steps from shops and restaurants.
Seoul's hotel scene is always moving, and these three newest additions cluster in two of the city's most convenient districts. In Myeongdong, you're steps from shopping streets, subway lines, and airport buses—a base that suits first-timers who want to be in the middle of it all. On the Han River, a polished 5-star property offers a quieter, more scenic start to the day.
The price spread reflects that contrast: at the budget end, a lively 3-star in Myeongdong starts around 237,697 KRW, while the riverfront 5-star begins near 287,217 KRW. The top of the set, a 5-star in Myeongdong with an indoor pool, is priced from 357,960 KRW. All three are highly rated, so the choice comes down to location and the kind of stay you want.
These newest hotels in Seoul are ideal for travelers who want a recently opened, highly rated stay in a central location—especially in Myeongdong.
