"We stayed in 5 different hotels during our visit to South Korea. Of the 2 in Seoul, Amid was easier to identify and get to. It was very safe as the Jongno police station was across the street. We walked to Insadong shopping within minutes, and Ikseondong food in about 10 minutes. Plenty of everything you need within a few minutes of walking distance.

What is a historic hotel like in Seoul?
Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a building officially recognized with a national historic designation.

These types of hotels in Seoul often retain original characteristics like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
They are quite similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the physical building and architecture. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Seoul have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you’d get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. Booking a historic hotel in Seoul doesn’t mean you will stay in a place that’s rundown.
