Millennium Hilton Seoul was a luxury hotel in Seoul, part of Hilton Hotels & Resorts. The hotel opened in 1983 as the Seoul Hilton and is located at 50 Sowol-ro, Jung-gu, in the central business and shopping district in downtown Seoul.[1]

History

[edit]

The hotel was originally owned by Daewoo Group, which sold it to City Developments Limited in 1999.[2] In December 2021, City Developments announced plans to sell the hotel and adjacent land to IGIS Asset Management, a Korean real estate firm, for 1.1 trillion won ($934 million).[3]

Millennium Seoul Hilton is listed in the Forbes Travel Guide.[4]

The hotel closed on December 31, 2022 for demolition and redevelopment and ceased to be affiliated with the Hilton brand.[5]
