Find 5-Star Hotels in Busan

I would not recommend Ananti at Busan Cove to anyone. It should be a place to relax for families. However, they have an abundance of (confusing) rules and a military style of ”service” from their staff. I've traveled all across the world (+60 countries). Living & working on 3 continents - and this was the strangest place I've ever stayed. A resort where the guest is always wrong. Strange hours, strange rules, strange service. And don't count on using the pool on the day of your check-out - as it's not allowed. If you want to carry around the full page of rules with you, be limited to small selection of restaurants which fill up and close early, then this might be the place for you. On the plus side, the sea is beautiful (although no accessible beach) - so you are stuck with the pool which is evacuated every 50 minutes.

My family and I stayed at the hotel from 26 Dec to 28 Dec 2023 and upon checkout, the staff insisted that they had issues reversing my 200 000 krw deposit because I didn't use the same card. This is strange and confusing because I only used one credit card the whole time in Korea. I also used the same card to pay for the hotel booking upon check in. We stayed in other Lotte Hotels in Korea and compared to those hotels, our experience at Lotte Hotel Busan was not the best. During check-in, i had several questions for the staff assisting us but she told us curtly that she will explain this later. Perhaps it was a language issue but definitely rubbed me the wrong way. During our time using the pool, different lifeguards asked me on two separate occasions if my family had registered to use the pool -- we paid for the pool usage and received wristbands. They also hovered around my family quite a bit - prolly cos my husband's arm tattoo was showing under his shirt and my kids are rather loud (they are 3 and 6 fyi). We were also told by the staff to keep our 3 year old quiet. We understand that compared to perhaps other Korean children, our child can be quite loud. We tried our best to keep him quiet but he is just 3 and simply excited to be there and it was not so nice to feel like we were being watched all the time for our child.

Room with ocean view is so much more cost-efficient than other hotels providing similar views. Still expensive for our budget though, but definitely worth every penny. The staff there also deserved praise for their respectfulness and formality, professionalism much alike what I saw of 5-star hotels in K-drama series. Definitely will keep this hotel in mind when I return to Busan in the future!

5 stars hotel with 5 stars amenities such as Dyson hairdryer and diptyque toiletries. Nespresso machine and 4 different types of tea available each day. You can borrow a HDMI-iPhone cable to mirror to TV for YouTube/Netflix. Family room was queen and single beds. Daily snacks such as macaroons, chocolates or fruits. Concierge and check in/out service was polite and prompt. Short cut from hotel to LCT mall (towards Haeundae beach) was very handy. The mall has few shops opened such as a bakery, 7-11, and cafes. Hotel is in the building on far right in pic.

Park Hyatt Busan is located in the Haeundae district of Busan, to the North of Busan Station. Getting here cost about 20,000 KRW by taxi. While the hotel is located somewhat far from some of the major tourist attractions like Gamcheon village, the amenities and the service of this hotel were absolutely impeccable. From the moment we alighted from the taxi, porters took our luggage bags and we were whisked to the hotel lobby on the 30th floor. The elevator doors opened to an expansive and impressive view of Busan. The standard deluxe room was very spacious for 2 persons, clean, and luxurious. Everything felt very modern. The sockets were also international, obviating the need for adaptors. The views from the room were fantastic too. The bathroom comes with 2 sinks, a shower equipped with Le Labo soaps, and a bath tub. The toilet was equipped with a Toto Japanese bidet. We will definitely return if we are ever back in Busan.

We loved our stay at Paradise Hotel. Our room had a beautiful ocean view and balcony. It was clean and had toiletries, robes, slippers, coffee, tea, and a mini fridge bar. The temperature was easy to control and adjust to our liking. The outdoor spa, also with an ocean view, was free with our room and the pools with water from local hot springs were clean, relaxing, and beautiful. The breakfast buffet, though pricey, was the best we’ve ever had with both western and eastern cuisines (and again, that beautiful view of the beach!). The staff was very professional, welcoming, and kind.

It is a new five star hotel in songdo beach so i decided to check it out. I had two separate stays for couple days each in the span of 10 days. The hotel is awesome and they upgraded me to a suite. Everything is new and clean... with that said, where do i begin. First of all nowhere in the wyndham website was stated that it was a soft opening. No room service and no lounge. The staff were very courteous but had incorrect information about a lot of things which made it very confusing. The water from the faucet had a little chemical smell. The elevators were the most inefficiently set up from parking to the room. The breakfast set up was scattered in inconsistent. I would have changed hotels after the first stay but wifey loved the rooms so we went back the second time. They should really have some, any, benefits for diamond members other than upgrades which they probably wont give if they are fully booked.

Everything about the hotel was good but unfortunately, my business schedule was badly impacted because Trip.com super last minute informed me that out of the 4 nights I had pre-book and prepaid, only 2 nights were available. They have to transfer me to another hotel for the remaining 2 nights. I have to check out by 12 noon and can't check in at the other hotel till 3pm.

Advantages: 1. The hotel's exterior and lobby are nice, with a sense of high-end solemnity, suitable for business trips. 2. It was my first time taking a taxi in Korea, and the staff helped me book a taxi. I could pay with cash or credit card, which solved the problem of difficulty in taking a taxi (although I later downloaded Uber and used it successfully), which is very friendly for people who don't know how to take a taxi in Korea. 3. The breakfast environment is good. I personally think the food is OK, not amazing, but my colleagues think it is good. Problems: 1. Busan was so hot when I went there, and the lobby was cooler than the bedroom. In the morning, I had to take a shower and put on makeup because of the work environment. My God, I was sweating while taking a shower and putting on makeup. I couldn't put on makeup well. The air conditioner was very low and the temperature was similar to that of a decoration. It was really a bit frustrating. 2. The wind power of the hair dryer is a bit low, and I can't dry my hair in the morning. The wind power and speed are also a bit slow, which is really anxious for people who are going on a business trip. 3. I don't like bathrooms with bathtubs, but I feel that most traditional hotels in Korea have bathtubs. I wanted to use the shower head but couldn't pull it out for a long time, which was really anxious. In short, for someone who is used to using a shower head, it was really frustrating. I took a shower in a hurry. 4. I don't know if the welcome drink is the mineral water in the hotel bedroom? 5. I looked at the selling point of the hot spring coupon, but I didn't experience it because I was tired from traveling and didn't have suitable clothes. I felt a little regretful. 6. The room is not very big, there are many mirrors, and the design of the window is relatively antique, but can this paper paste really not be poked? 7. You can see some street views, but it's average. There are more karaoke rooms. I don't know why there are so many entertainment venues in the surrounding environment.

Resort is absolutely stunning and location wise is on a quiet side but plenty of restaurants nearby. A relaxing place away from too much tourists. Nearby is the new Lotte theme park and luge park. Staffs are very friendly and attentive but communication is very tough. Restaurants in the resort are very nice and plenty of choice. It also has a convenience store that sells everything. The restaurants and facilities operation time is very weird, with certain limitations. One of the swimming pool not in operation and we were unaware. Certain amenities not provided due to government policy but I strongly dislike soap bars as shampoo and no tv in the room. A tablet is provided if you need some entertainment for your children. We would like to stay again in the future
