The Park Hyatt Seoul experience begins at the top - the 24th floor. Stepping off the elevator, guests are greeted by a reception area made of Japanese Aji Stone, and a large rectangular lounge area with orange leather chairs, Myanmar oak tables, and floor-to-ceiling windows to the left. At the end of the Lobby Lounge, there is a direct view of the 17 metre indoor heated pool through a glass wall, which continues past to a view of the city through the pool’s outer glass wall. The sky lobby is a wonderful example of the design concept’s element of surprise because it redefines a “traditional” hotel layout by placing areas that normally do not go together right next to each other.
