Long Weekend Haus DDP: Connecting Rooms or Family Room for Six?
How to split up a family of six comes down to one of two choices: a "connecting room" (two rooms joined by an internal door) or a "family room" (a single room that sleeps six or more). The former has the advantage that parents can work in a separate room after the children fall asleep, while the latter means zero distance between rooms, making it easier to keep an eye on young children. In Seoul, connecting rooms at upscale hotels are often configured as two rooms of up to four guests each, and family rooms that can hold exactly six people in a single room are limited. Below, the occupancy figures and room types listed on each property's official site or booking channel are lined up in the same format for comparison.
New Seoul Hotel
New Seoul Hotel is located between Gwanghwamun and City Hall, within walking distance of City Hall Station. The Premium Family Suite with Loft (rooms 1601 to 1606) combines one double bed with one or two twin beds, and depending on the room number, Expedia's room data lists maximum occupancy as either six or eight people (as listed in 2026). The hotel also explicitly states that connecting rooms are available, so booking two of the loft family suites as connecting rooms makes it possible to split up a group of six or more across two rooms. As a 3 star property, its price range runs lower than the other properties here, though the official site does not publish reference prices by room.
Long Weekend Haus DDP
Long Weekend Haus DDP (official site) is a 12 room property with seven room types located at 15-3 Ssanglim-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, in the DDP (Dongdaemun Design Plaza) area. For a family of six, the "Mall Suite" (rooms 202, 302, and 402; standard occupancy of 3, maximum of 6; two bedrooms, one bathroom; 44 square meters) is the closest match in terms of room type and occupancy. To fit exactly six people into a single room, one Mall Suite works; alternatively, to spread out across two rooms for more space, two Dining Suites (standard occupancy of 2, maximum of 4; two bedrooms, one bathroom; 35 square meters) can be booked. All rooms are non smoking, Wi-Fi is free, and self check in kiosks allow guests to check in at 3:00 PM and check out at 11:00 AM without worrying about arrival timing. Free cancellation is available up to 14 days before check in (flexible rate), and stays of three nights or more come with a 10% discount as an official booking perk. Charges beyond the standard occupancy run 10,000 KRW per person per night, and the guest booking under their name must be 19 years of age or older. Trip.com's aggregated rating is 9.5 out of 10 (66 reviews, confirmed September 14, 2026). Because this property offers self contained suites per room instead of a single connecting room concept, it can accommodate both a "two room family strategy" splitting six guests across two rooms and a "one room strategy" fitting everyone into a single Mall Suite.
Fairmont Ambassador Seoul
Fairmont Ambassador Seoul sits inside the Park1 complex on Yeouido, directly connected to The Hyundai Seoul. The hotel's official site states that connecting rooms are available and specifies the Premier Suite (one king bedroom plus one twin bedroom, two bedrooms and two bathrooms total, with panoramic views), and its official page lists maximum occupancy for the Premier Suite as seven guests (confirmed on the fairmont.com official page in June 2026). The family room package offers a 50% discount on the second room when booking two Fairmont Rooms, and includes breakfast for four, a family chicken set, and use of the indoor pool (as listed on the fairmont-seoul.com official page). With 308 rooms and suites, a family of six could either connect two Fairmont Rooms or fit into a single Premier Suite (maximum 7 guests).
Four Seasons Seoul
Four Seasons Seoul is located in the Gwanghwamun area, and its official family page explicitly states that connecting rooms are available. The "Grand Family Room" designed for families with children is a spacious single room with an independent alcove, and it is designed for smaller families traveling with young children rather than for accommodating six people. For a family of six wanting connecting rooms, connecting two Premier Rooms or Executive Suites is the practical option, and the official site describes connecting rooms as "two rooms that can be locked from the inside via a connecting door." Kids' amenities (crib, bathtub, bed guard, sterilizer) provided upon request, and access to the Kids For All Seasons lounge, are features not found among the other properties compared here.
Marriott Executive Apartments Seoul
Marriott Executive Apartments Seoul is a serviced apartment property near Yeouido Station (Lines 5 and 9), offering layouts ranging from studio to 3 bedroom units. According to Hotels.com's listed data, the 2 bedroom type sleeps 4 to 5, and the 3 bedroom type sleeps 6, and all rooms show "Connecting/adjoining rooms available" (as listed on hotels.com as of 2026). Every unit comes with a kitchen and washer/dryer, which is a practical advantage for long stays with six people since cooking at home helps cut food costs. The official site's policy states that up to two children under 12 can stay free sharing existing bedding, with an additional charge of 54,450 KRW per night for a third child (marriott.com official page).
Oakwood Premier Coex Center Seoul
Oakwood Premier Coex Center Seoul is a serviced apartment property in the Gangnam area, connected to the COEX Mall via an underground passage, with 281 rooms. According to Hotels.com's listed data, the 3 Bedroom Superior type is 134 square meters with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, sleeping 6 (two king beds plus one sofa bed). A 2 bedroom type is also available, with a full kitchen and washer suited for long stays. Instead of being labeled as connecting rooms, the layout consists of multiple bedrooms combined within a single unit from the start, so it is closer to the family room type in terms of ease of watching over children. It is a 10 minute walk from Samseong Station.
Basis and Criteria
- Occupancy figures: The "Max guests" or "Sleeps" figures for each hotel are taken directly from the values listed on the official site or major OTA room pages (Expedia, Hotels.com, Booking.com). Standard occupancy and extra guest fees set independently by each hotel are based on the corresponding official page's listing.
- Connecting room notation: Fairmont Ambassador Seoul and Four Seasons Seoul explicitly state on their official sites that "Connecting rooms" are available, and Four Seasons defines them as "two rooms with a door that locks from both sides." New Seoul Hotel and Marriott Executive Apartments Seoul can be confirmed via the "Connecting/adjoining rooms available" notation on their OTA room pages.
- The room capacity figures for Long Weekend Haus DDP are based on the official 12 room table across seven room types. The Mall Suite (rooms 202, 302, 402) has a standard occupancy of 3 and maximum of 6, with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and 44 square meters. The Dining Suite has a standard occupancy of 2 and maximum of 4. Only the 702 Penthouse has a maximum of 8 (three bedrooms, two bathrooms), and the property wide notation of "maximum 4 to 8 guests" does not refer to a specific room type's figure (reconfirmed on the official page as of September 14, 2026).
- Age condition: Long Weekend Haus DDP's official policy requires the guest booking under their name to be 19 years of age or older.
- Price and rating confirmation dates: Long Weekend Haus DDP's pricing and rating figures were both confirmed on the official site and Trip.com on either September 14 or September 19, 2026. Prices at other properties are dynamic OTA displays that fluctuate by confirmation date, so this comparison uses room occupancy configuration alone as its axis.
