The Shilla Seoul

Unclaimed

I had the pleasure of attending the “Unknown by The Art Fair” held at The Shilla Hotel in Seoul from March 21 to 23, 2025. The event took place on the 11th and 12th floors of the hotel, offering an elegant and intimate setting for art appreciation. With 68 galleries participating and showcasing the works of over 500 artists, the fair presented a diverse and vibrant collection of more than 3,000 artworks. From emerging talents to more established names, the range of styles and mediums on display was truly impressive. Each gallery space was thoughtfully curated, allowing visitors to engage deeply with the stories and concepts behind the works. As a VIP guest, I had the opportunity to enjoy the art in a relaxed and spacious atmosphere. It was a great chance to discover fresh perspectives and connect with the current pulse of the contemporary art scene in Korea and beyond. Overall, “Unknown by The Art Fair” was a refreshing and inspiring experience that blended creativity, professionalism, and elegance in perfect harmony. I look forward to seeing how this platform continues to evolve in the coming years.

Pro - Biggest rooms ever - Big tub, big shower, big bed, big couch - Pretty view of Namsan tower - Near the pork belly street Con - Everything in the rooms feel like they are from the 90s - Not much amenities - Getting into the hotel sometimes takes forever because of all the tour buses visiting the Shilla duty free stores Would I stay again? Probably not Should you stay once? Sure
