Long Weekend Haus DDP: Weekday and Weekend Rates
Seoul's luxury hotels and boutique stays tend to post higher listed rates for Friday and Saturday stays than for weekdays. That said, most hotels do not publish a fixed weekday and weekend rate table, and instead use dynamic pricing that shows different prices depending on the booking date. Long Weekend Haus is a stay brand operating 12 rooms across 7 room types in the Dongdaemun area of Jung-gu, Seoul, and it applies a rate structure where each guest beyond the base occupancy adds KRW 10,000 per night (longweekendhaus.com, official page checked 2026-09-19). Below is a summary of the deluxe room or flagship room conditions at five properties, along with the date each was checked.
Lotte Hotel Seoul Deluxe Room
Lotte Hotel Seoul is close to the Myeongdong shopping street in Jung-gu, Seoul, and near Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station. After completing a remodel of the main tower, it was renamed The Grand Lotte Seoul starting August 14, 2026 (Namuwiki, checked 2026-07-25). The property has 1,015 rooms in total, including deluxe rooms.
Since the website update, listed rates include VAT and service charge. Before the update, an additional 21% had to be added to the listed price to get the actual payment amount (Namuwiki, checked 2026-07-25). An extra bed costs KRW 60,500 per night, and extra beds are not available for Superior Double rooms. La Seine breakfast costs KRW 63,200 per adult, and KRW 32,000 for children aged 48 months to 12 years, with tax and service charge included (checked on the Interpark Tour product page).
Wi-Fi and parking are provided free of charge (checked on hotels.com). Since the property is in a rebranding transition period, the exact nightly rate may display differently across booking channels, so it is safer to check directly by entering your stay dates.

There is no fixed rate table for nightly rates, and prices only appear on Booking.com and Trip.com once you enter your stay dates.

Agoda's page lists the property's average posted room rate at $142 (checked on the Agoda page). This figure is an aggregate across multiple dates and room grades, so it is not a confirmed rate for a specific stay date, and you need to search again with your desired dates to get an accurate figure.
Sources and Standards
Here are the concepts and figures industry professionals reference when checking weekday and weekend price differences at Seoul hotels.
- ADR (Average Daily Rate): The average per night revenue rate a hotel tallies on a daily basis, in units of KRW or USD.
- Day of week rate: Instead of a fixed weekday and weekend rate table, this refers to dynamic pricing that updates with each booking date, a method used by all five properties covered on this page.
- Weekend premium example (a past promotional product): The winter package deluxe room product sold by The Westin Chosun Seoul through February 28, 2023 charged an additional KRW 24,200 for two guests on a Friday stay, and an additional KRW 108,900 for two guests on a Saturday or Lunar New Year holiday stay (SSG.COM product page). The absolute figures change year to year, but the tendency for Saturday surcharges to exceed Friday surcharges is worth noting.
- Aggregate average rate example: Agoda's Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae page lists an average posted room rate of $142 (checked on the Agoda page).
- Reference price display window example: Trip.com's The Shilla Seoul page shows a reference price for the window of May 20 to May 26 (checked on kr.trip.com).
- Age requirement: A minimum age of 19 for the lead guest checking in is stated in common across the pages for The Shilla Seoul, The Westin Chosun Seoul, Mercure Ambassador Seoul Hongdae, and Long Weekend Haus DDP.
