Aman’s first destination in Korea, Aman Seoul, has officially announced plans to open in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam. Developed in partnership with Shinsegae Property, the integrated destination will bring together a luxury hotel, a limited number of Aman Residences, and a global Aman Club. Overlooking the Han River and incorporating traditional Korean aesthetics, it offers top-tier travelers a new take on tranquil urban living.
A tranquil retreat in the clouds overlooking the Han River
Aman Seoul will be located in Cheongdam-dong, at the heart of Seoul’s renowned Gangnam district. Rising high above the city, the building will offer unobstructed views of the Han River. Long a hub for Seoul’s high-end retail, fashion design, and cultural offerings, Cheongdam-dong is where Aman hopes to create a “tranquil retreat above the city” amid its urban buzz. The project is the result of a close collaboration between Aman and Shinsegae Property, a Korean global asset management and real estate development company, combining a local cultural perspective with international luxury hospitality expertise.
Where traditional Korean aesthetics meet modern minimalism
Aman Seoul’s design reflects a deep respect for traditional Korean culture. The project has partnered with artisans well versed in Korean culture and aesthetics, weaving traditional Korean spatial concepts and materials into contemporary architecture. Spacious suites and public spaces are defined by clean, simple lines, while understated natural materials create a calm, tranquil atmosphere. The hotel, limited Aman Residences, and global Aman Club will each have separate private entrances and arrival routes, ensuring the utmost privacy for every guest and member.
A multilevel spa and high-rise lifestyle experiences
Wellness, at the heart of the Aman brand, is fully realized at Aman Seoul. The project will include dedicated spa and wellness spaces spanning multiple floors, offering deeply restorative experiences for body and mind. Its dining venues will introduce Aman’s international culinary concepts to satisfy discerning diners. The private Aman Club will also feature a private pool, fitness facilities, and social spaces, while the limited-release Aman Residences will be furnished with custom pieces by the brand’s interior design label, Aman Interiors, allowing top-tier buyers to make Aman’s lifestyle aesthetic part of a lasting home.
For top-tier travelers who love the Aman style, Aman Seoul’s arrival will undoubtedly bring a new definition of luxury to this creative city. More than a hotel, it is an ideal living space that connects tradition and modernity, energy and tranquility. Opening details and booking information will be announced in due course, so luxury travel enthusiasts can stay tuned.
