Hey cubanlord, we are going up to Seoul this Friday for a night and are thinking of taking advantage of the Ritz's promotion, since we have to be in Gangnam.

I've looked at their website but I can't find the exact offer as the one you've posted - although there is one virtually the same, sans the Bulgari bath gift set thingy.

Where did you find what you found?

I looked at their website and didn't find anything close to that so I called them.

The info I got: The Package is called Love Actually. Cost is 215,000 won +20% taxes. Koreans only.

Only Continental Breakfast not buffet. No ice sculpture, cake or Bulagari gift.

Dinner, spa, room, ect...

Still a good deal.

Yes, they say Koreans only. However, what they mean is if you have a Korean ID number, then you can use the promotion. My wife and I just got back from our little trip. Shocked

It was wonderful. We couldn't have asked for more. We almost stayed an additional night. It is definitely well worth it.

Also...hehehehehe..forgot to mention......at the club level on the 12th floor, you get happy hour from 5pm to 9pm for FREE!

I was madddd mixing up drinks!!!!!! They let you use whatever you want. I was downing some massive screwdrivers!!!!!

Just remember to bring formal clothing. The Ritz is the Ritz.

We did get the ice scuplture and the Bulagari gift in the bathroom (my wife and I enjoyed it Very Happy ), but we didn't get the cake. Everything else was spot on.

Sounds great! Cool

Was the breakfast the buffet or Continental?

Did they really put you names on the ice sculpture?

How was the dinner?

What is considered formal? Coat and tie or just business casual?

Finally, how much for the extra night?

Seriously thinking about trying it!

The breakfast was strange. It was in the club lounge and was a mix of continental and buffet. You had your usual continent stuff then, off to the side, they had a private chef cooking eggs and bacon any way you wanted them. They also had cooked-marinated salmon and a special type of sliced chicken. Everything was great.

The dinner was 4 course and outstanding. They do ask for you to wear business casual at the minimum. There were young couples there that wore jeans and a t-shirt (really pissed me off).

The extra night was the same price and included everything the first night had.
