“Gangnam” covers several parts of south Seoul. A hotel near Gangnam Station may not shorten the return from Jamsil, COEX or Apgujeong. Start with the full venue address, not the event’s neighbourhood label.
Let fixed evenings decide whether to move south
Write down concerts, performances, work commitments or reserved dinners that cannot move. If two or more end near the same part of South Seoul, compare a base there with your daytime routes and airport plans. If only one night is fixed, a hotel elsewhere may still work if the late route is practical.
Match the base to the actual district
Gangnam Station suits plans centred on its commercial area. COEX and Samseong have a different return point; Jamsil is farther east, while Apgujeong and Cheongdam have their own station approaches. Check the venue’s official address and the last leg from its nearest usable station. For wider destination context, see Seoul’s accommodation areas.
During the day, group north-of-river visits into one block rather than crossing back to the room between stops. If palace, Jongno or Hongdae evenings dominate, compare those routes before moving the hotel south. Keep the venue return and daytime sightseeing as separate tests.
