Mayplace

Mayplace opened in 2014 on Yulgok-ro in Jongno, the old heart of Seoul, as the city sister of the Mayfield Hotel Seoul. Changgyeonggung Palace is across the road, and the airport limousine bus 6011 from Incheon stops in front of the palace and the hotel.

Rooms range from Superior Twin and Double to Deluxe Triple and suites, all with Wi-Fi, a safe, a coffee and tea set, a minibar and electric floor heating, which matters in a Korean winter. There's a restaurant, a lounge, a fitness room, a business corner, a coin laundry and a rooftop garden. Jongno 5-ga and Hyehwa subway stations are about 15 minutes' walk away.
