Oriens Hotel & Residences Myeongdong: Residence Record

Who it suits

Rooms

Per official site room/suite pages (orienshotel.com/rooms_suites.asp and sub-pages): Deluxe Room 23㎡; Executive Room 33㎡; Premier Room 42㎡; One-Bedroom Suites 34-51㎡ (One Bedroom Deluxe Suite listed elsewhere at 34.0㎡, One Bedroom Premier Suite at 51㎡); Two-Bedroom Deluxe Suites 64㎡; Two-Bedroom Premier Suites 78㎡ (also listed as 840 sq ft / ~78㎡ with city view on Hotels.com). Deluxe rooms are described (retailer copy) as sleeping 2 with double/twin bed configurations. Selected units include a private balcony, washing machine and dryer (retailer-sourced amenity detail, not independently confirmed on the official pages fetched).

Booking

Bookable directly via the official site (orienshotel.com) and via OTAs including Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Agoda, Trip.com, Klook, and Travelocity. Check-out is reported as 12:00 noon consistently across sources. Check-in time is inconsistently reported: Trivago lists 14:00, while Trip.com lists 15:00 - this is a genuine conflict between two retailer sources, not resolved by the official site pages consulted; confirm directly with the property before travel.

Price

No official rack rate was retrievable from the orienshotel.com pages consulted (site has a 'Best Rate Promise' page but no listed base price in the search excerpt obtained). Third-party retailer aggregators show a wide, conflicting range: HotelsCombined-type meta-search reports an average of C$213/night with deals from C$55/night (~US$47) and a low-season (January) average near C$105/night. These are dynamic OTA rates, not an official published tariff - treat the official rate as an unresolved gap and the OTA figures as indicative only.

Location

50 Samil-daero 2-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 04627, South Korea; phone +82 2 2280 8000 (per official site orienshotel.com and retailer listings). Reported as a 3-minute walk from Exit 4 of Chungmuro Station (Seoul Subway Lines 3 & 4) and roughly a 10-minute walk to the Myeongdong shopping district (retailer-sourced distance estimates, e.g. Trivago/Trip.com).
