[Fated to Love You] The Seoul Hotel where Daniel Pitt & Miyoung Stayed

W Seoul - Walkerhill Hotel 177 Walkerhill-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul (서울 광진구 워커힐로 177) One of the most beautiful hotels in Seoul is the W Walkerhill Hotel. A branch of the international chain, this establishment totally raises the bar on modern accommodation. Even when I was working as a travel writer for a hotel booking company, this has been my favorite. The facilities were basically top-tiered and the services was superb. No wonder it has become one of the most prominent filming locations of Korean dramas, movies and variety shows. Even Super Junior filmed here . Perhaps, it's the fact that it's perched on an ideal location (fronting the river and quite away from the bustling metropolis) or maybe it's the fact that it's really perfect for all scenes? I don't know. But one thing is sure, W Walkerhill Hotel is an interesting place I would like to stay in when I'm in Seoul. That is if I have the money to pay for the lodge. LOL So yeah, ...

[Triangle] Im Siwan at Sheraton Grande Walkerhill Hotel

second photo from Walkerhill Official Site Sheraton Grande Walkerhill Hotel 177 Walkerhill-ro Gwangjin-gu, Seoul (서울 광진구 워커힐로 177) So obviously, I have started on Triangle, the latest Korean drama of the badass Kim Jaejoong. It's already in its 16th episode and I'm guessing it'll be quite long before we get to see this beautiful god on our screens after this drama so let's make the most out of it, right? But ironically, the first post for Triangle shooting locations will feature Im Siwan. I'm quite curious as to what his character is, especially since he's quite reserved and silent in the first episode and he was talking to a psychologist in the scene I've posted above. But his face is in the main poster of the drama so I'm guessing he has a bigger role here. Please don't spoil me on the comments though about what he actually is. :p Anyway, the Sheraton Grande Walkerhill Hotel is one of the hotels in Walkerhill. It's beside ...

[The Heirs] Kim Woobin and Kim Jiwon at Sheraton Hotel - Walkerhill (or W Seoul?)

Sheraton Grand Hotel Walkerhill/W Seoul Walkerhill Hotel Gwangjang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul Okay, so this got me really dizzy. The main shooting location is there in the area where metal posts form a triangle, supporting a disk. But I CAN'T TELL IF THAT'S PART OF W HOTEL OR THE SHERATON ALREADY. I think it's like a common lobby for both hotels considering that there are two entrances. But anyway, it's in Walkerhill. But really, a part of me is thinking that the hotel supposedly owned by Choi Youngdo (Kim Woobin) is actually Sheraton Grand. I DON'T KNOW. FOLLOW US FOR MORE UPDATES! IMPORTANT NOTE: This post may not be 100% accurate.

[Medical Top Team] Joo Ji Hoon at W Seoul - Walkerhill Hotel

W Seoul - Walkerhill 177 Walkerhill-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul OFFICIAL WEBSITE It's easy to distinguish which hotel was used for the show, although the drama actually used a different building (I GUESS!) to establish the Kwanghye Hotel. But anyway, the important thing is that it's actually W Hotel. The room used is the Extreme WOW Suite at the 13th floor. Taken from the official site of the hotel, here's the description: " Located on the 13th floor overlooking Acha mountain and the Han river, our Extreme Wow Suite occupies over 237 square meters. Indulgences are at every turn. A waterfall greets you at the entrance. The LED-illuminated floor of the 10-person dining room changes hue from green to red to blue. Three 55” LED televisions await your attention. Choose your favorite vintage from the stocked wine cellar and soak in the four-person Jacuzzi. Take in the panoramic views of the Han River and Mt. Acha. Live it up." Familiar? Maybe you're...

Super Junior at W Seoul - Walkerhill Hotel

both photos from WSeoul Walkerhill Hotel W Seoul - Walkerhill Hotel San21, Gwangjang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 143-708 (82)(2)4652222 www.wseoul.com Familiar? W Seoul Walkerhill Hotel is the very same hotel used in Yoon Eunhye and Kang Jihwan's Lie to Me . Super Junior used the Extreme Wow Suite Living Room (as seen on photo). I honestly don't know what this is for. Magazine shoot? Promotion for the hotel? IF  it is the latter, W Hotel did a great decision. People from all over the world come to Seoul for Super Junior. So why not stay in a hotel which the group endorses? (OR AT LEAST HAD GONE TO). Singaporeans who wish to book rooms without sweat, why not try this one ? --- This blog post does not guarantee 100% accuracy.
