Hi. I think the mass protest that happened on Saturday (Nov. 5 KST) was held at the Gwanghwamun Square.  It's a bit far from Conrad Hotel. You'd have to cross the Han River to get to the hotel from the square. There are smaller protests in other areas but I don't think it's something that we should worry about. 

Cheers,
