Banyan Tree Club & Spa

Myeong-dong & Jung-gu


Billing itself a ‘sanctuary for the senses’, the Banyan Tree occupies a hilltop tower designed by feted local architect Kim Swoon Guen, and offers just four rooms per floor. Calmly decorated and coolly sophisticated, each has a giant relaxation pool and amazing views. Guests have access to the darkly luxurious club with its leisure facilities.

In summer there’s big outdoor pool surrounded by private cabanas; in winter it becomes a skating rink.
