Sun-Kissed City Bliss: Four Seasons Hotel Seoul Launches “101 Days of Summer”

Hand-crafted bingsu, rare Korean ingredients, cooling cocktails, and blissful sun-kissed days: welcome to summer in the city through the luxury lens of Four Seasons Hotel Seoul. As part of 101 Days of Summer, a global campaign by Four Seasons, the Hotel presents a mouth-watering array of seasonal delights and shared moments. Experiences are rooted in the carefree pleasures of the season’s long, lazy days.

Reimagined through a distinctly Korean lens, 101 Days of Summer at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul promises a flavourful adventure as chefs and mixologists transform local harvests into elevated, sensory experiences.

Local Ingredients, Refined Craftmanship

Among the highlights at the urban sanctuary, bingsu takes centre stage as one of Korea’s most beloved summer desserts. Its delicate, melt-in-the-mouth shaved milk ice offers instant refreshment on hot, humid days. Dating back to the Joseon Dynasty, the dessert is also tied to Korea’s communal dining culture. For centuries, friends, families and colleagues have gathered to share bingsu as both a nostalgic comfort food and a social ritual.

Available at the Hotel’s laidback lobby lounge Maru, two signature bingsu creations are served with theatrical flair alongside condiments that allow guests to personalise the experience.

The Maru Classic Bingsu honours Korean dessert heritage through snow-fine organic milk ice, velvety premium Korean red bean paste, rice cake cubes and fresh pear spheres. Made using prized locally sourced beans celebrated for their nutty sweetness, smooth texture and cultural significance, the red bean paste brings both depth and nostalgia to the dessert. The pear component, with its delicate sweetness and refreshing juiciness, creates a bright contrast, leaving a clean, uplifting finish with every spoonful.

One of Korea’s most sought-after, luxury seasonal fruits – Jeju-grown apple mangoes – are enhanced with delicate pastry, elderflower and white chocolate in the Maru Jeju Apple Mango Bingsu. More than two rare Jeju apple mangoes, highly prized for their tree-ripened sweetness and smooth jelly-like texture, feature in each serving. At the dessert’s centre lies a mango sphere that bursts to release mango elderflower sauce; crafted using molecular gastronomy techniques, it’s designed as both visual spectacle and sensory surprise.

Together, the two creations express the city hotel’s approach to summer dining, merging a vibrant symphony of exclusive local ingredients with artistry and immersive presentation. Bingsu fans can enjoy 10 percent savings when ordering both signature desserts together – perfect for shared moments.

Elevated Al Fresco Indulgence at Garden Terrace

The Hotel continues its 101 Days of Summer journey at the 15th-floor Garden Terrace, one of Seoul’s most exclusive open-air dining destinations. With sweeping views across the city skyline and surrounding mountains, the terrace lives up to its name with lush greenery and secluded, laidback dining spots. Here, guests can savour a refined summer sundae: organic vanilla soft serve with peak-season fruits including strawberries, mango, peach and mixed berries. Warm seasonal fruit sauce poured tableside adds a subtle touch of theatre to the relaxed outdoor experience.

Cooling Cocktails at H. Bar

Tucked behind a hidden entrance within the glamorous Charles H., H. Bar offers an intimate cocktail experience inspired by theatrical storytelling and cutting-edge mixology techniques. Launching June 1, 2026, the seasonal Gin & Tonic by Head Bartender Odd Strandbakken offers the ultimate cooling refreshment for sizzling summer evenings. Premium Korean gin is infused with delicate floral notes of rose, marigold and lemon balm and balanced by crisp tonic. Finished with a cloud of finely shaved, flash-frozen watermelon, the cocktail celebrates seasonal abundance in every sip.

Summer at Four Seasons

“At Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, summer unfolds through hand-crafted bingsu, rooftop ice creams, refreshing cocktails and relaxed moments shared with family and friends,” comments Emanuele Accame, Director of Food and Beverage at Four Seasons Hotel Seoul. “With 101 Days of Summer, we wanted to capture the easy joy of the season in a way that feels vibrant, elevated and distinctly Seoul.”
