How much to tip a hotel concierge in South Korea (2026 Guide)

Korean concierges treat hard requests as part of the job. At Four Seasons or Shilla, an envelope of ₩10,000–₩30,000 for an exceptional booking (e.g. a near-impossible Michelin reservation) is recognized as Western etiquette and not refused, but it remains optional. A handwritten thank-you note or a small gift on departure is, as in Japan, a more culturally fluent gesture.

Slipping cash mid-request, which can feel transactional and uncomfortable rather than grateful.
