Overall an amazing experience. The restaurants were amazing and included the first Korean restaurant to earn 3 Michelin stars. The staff was very professional and courteous and went above and beyond to find us spots at the restaurants despite very short notice. The hotel itself is positioned in a convenient central location with scenic views and is surrounded by a beautiful and impeccably maintained sculpture garden with an extensive system of hiking trails.
