The subway route to Club ACE Seoul from Myeongdong, Hongdae and Itaewon hotels: Line 3 to Sinsa Station exit 4, last trains, taxi tips and a 3-minute walk.
Quick answer
The simplest way to reach Club ACE Seoul from Myeongdong, Hongdae or Itaewon hotels is Subway Line 3 to Sinsa Station, then exit 4 and a 3-minute walk to 597 Gangnam-daero. We open Tuesday to Sunday, 23:00 to 08:00, with ₩20,000 entry and a passport required at the door for foreign guests. After the subway stops around midnight, take a taxi with our Korean address.
How do I get to Club ACE Seoul from a Myeongdong hotel?
From a Myeongdong hotel, walk to Chungmuro Station and take Subway Line 3 south to Sinsa Station, which is a direct ride with no transfers. The trip takes about 15 to 20 minutes plus a short walk to the platform. At Sinsa, follow the signs to exit 4, then it is roughly a 3-minute walk to our door at 597 Gangnam-daero. We are in the same spot as the former Race Club, near Sinsa Station on Line 3.
If you would rather not walk to Chungmuro, Myeongdong Station on Line 4 connects to Line 3 with one transfer, though the direct Line 3 route is simpler. Daytime and early-evening trains are frequent, so this works well if you arrive before the subway stops around midnight. We open at 23:00 Tuesday to Sunday and stay busy until 08:00, so timing your trip around the last train matters. Entry is ₩20,000, and foreign guests need a physical passport at the door.
What is the best way to travel from Hongdae or Itaewon to Sinsa Station?
From Hongdae, take Subway Line 2 from Hongik University Station to Euljiro 3-ga, then transfer to Line 3 heading south to Sinsa Station. The full journey runs about 35 to 45 minutes depending on the transfer wait. From Itaewon, take Line 6 to Yaksu Station and transfer to Line 3 for Sinsa, which is closer at roughly 20 to 25 minutes. In both cases you finish at Sinsa exit 4, a 3-minute walk from us.
Both districts are lively at night, so give yourself a little extra time if the platforms are crowded on a Friday or Saturday. If you plan to stay out past the last train, expect to return by taxi rather than subway. Keep our Korean address saved on your phone before you leave your hotel. Weekends are far busier than weekdays here, so an earlier start can mean a shorter queue at the door.
When do Seoul subways stop, and how do I take a late-night taxi?
Seoul subway service ends around midnight, with last trains on most lines leaving between roughly 23:00 and 00:30, so plan an earlier subway trip and a taxi back. Since we are busiest between 1 and 3 AM, most late guests leave by taxi. Download the Kakao T app to call a taxi and pay by card, which is the easiest option for visitors. Regular taxis are also simple to hail on Gangnam-daero outside.
For any taxi, show the driver this Korean address: 서울특별시 서초구 강남대로 597. You can also say you are heading to the Sinsa Station area on Gangnam-daero, near the old Race Club location. Late-night fares carry a small surcharge after midnight, which is normal in Seoul. Having the address written in Korean avoids confusion and gets you to the door quickly.
