The story
Cornerstone occupies a prime address within the Park Hyatt Seoul, set along Teheran-ro in the Gangnam district — one of the South Korean capital's most dynamic corridors. The restaurant brings Italian cuisine to a setting that reflects the polished, understated character Park Hyatt properties are known for worldwide.
In 2025, Cornerstone received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, a distinction that speaks directly to the quality and curation of its cellar. For a restaurant rooted in Italian cuisine, a well-considered wine list is not a flourish but a foundation — and this recognition confirms that the pairing experience here is taken seriously.
Cornerstone serves both lunch and dinner, making it a viable choice whether you are looking for a refined midday meal in the business heart of Seoul or a more leisurely evening table. The Italian focus provides a familiar yet considered framework, well suited to the international clientele that gravitates toward Gangnam's premier addresses.
