The World Luxury Awards recognize excellence across the luxury hospitality and travel industries through dedicated award programs for hotels, spas, restaurants and travel. The World Luxury Hotel Awards, established in 2006, and the World Luxury Restaurant Awards, established in 2015, recognize outstanding properties and dining establishments through online voting. Winners are selected across global, continental, regional and country categories.
The Shilla Seoul was named Global Winner in the Best Luxury Culinary Hotel category, while also receiving Best Luxury Wedding Hotel in South Korea and Best Luxury City Hotel in South Korea honors. The three awards recognize the hotel’s offerings across fine dining, weddings and luxury urban hospitality, reflecting the breadth of experiences available at the property.
The Shilla Seoul’s culinary recognition was further strengthened by its restaurants, La Yeon and Continental, which each earned Global Winner honors. La Yeon, the hotel’s Korean restaurant, received the Best Korean Cuisine Global Winner award and was also recognized as Best Luxury Heritage Restaurant in East Asia. Continental, its French restaurant, was named Global Winner for Best Wine Selection and received the Best French Cuisine award in East Asia. Together with The Shilla Seoul’s Best Luxury Culinary Hotel recognition, these awards highlight the hotel’s strengths across Korean and French fine dining.
The Shilla Jeju received three awards: Best Luxury Ocean View Resort in Asia, Best Luxury Resort in East Asia and Best Luxury Family Resort in South Korea. Set against Jeju Island’s scenic coastal landscape, the resort offers luxury accommodations, diverse dining options and leisure experiences designed for a relaxing island getaway. The three awards underscore its appeal to a broad range of travelers, from couples seeking a peaceful retreat to families enjoying a memorable resort vacation.
In Vietnam, Shilla Monogram Danang was named Global Winner in the Best Luxury Beach Resort category, marking another kind of international recognition for The Shilla Hotels & Resorts. Shilla Monogram is a lifestyle hotel brand that combines The Shilla’s hospitality heritage with the distinctive character of each destination, offering experiences shaped by local culture and surroundings. The award demonstrates the group’s ability to bring its hospitality expertise to international markets through a distinct brand experience.
The recognition across city hotels, fine dining restaurants and resort destinations reflects the breadth of The Shilla Hotels & Resorts’ hospitality expertise. Across its portfolio, the group combines a longstanding commitment to refined service and exceptional guest experiences with hospitality offerings tailored to different destinations and traveler needs.
“We are delighted that The Shilla Seoul and The Shilla Jeju have been recognized for their excellence in luxury hospitality, and it is particularly meaningful to see Shilla Monogram Danang receive global recognition as well,” said a spokesperson for The Shilla Hotels & Resorts. “This achievement shows how the hospitality expertise we have developed in Korea, combined with the unique character of each destination, can create experiences that resonate with international travelers. We will continue to build on this approach as we expand into new markets.”
The Shilla Hotels & Resorts continues to strengthen its international presence, building on the hospitality expertise developed through its operations in South Korea. As part of its ongoing global expansion, the group opened Shilla Monogram Hanoi Westlake in Vietnam in October 2026, further extending its hospitality offerings to travelers around the world.
