That would be the Bando Hotel, actually the "Choson Bando Hotel",
a.k.a. the Choson Hotel, now reconstructed as the Westin Choson
Hotel near the City Hall Plaza.

One photo of it's pre-reconstruction appearance (probably taken in the
1970's, is found on page 103 of _Korea's Colorful Heritage_ by Dr. Jon
Carter Covell, published in 1985 by Si-sa-yong-o-sa of Seoul.  ISBN #
0-87296-020-X.   Further info on the hotel on pages 98 & 102.
That's all I know...
