Impressive chandeliers, marble flooring and golden fixtures are prevalent throughout this luxury Seoul hotel, giving it an appearance reminiscent of a palatial home. It is evident that no expense has been spared in its construction, and that the greatest attention to detail has been given to every square inch.
A color scheme of neutral browns and beiges gives the rooms and suites throughout Lotte Seoul a look of simple sophistication, and at an average size of about 430 square feet, the standard rooms are larger than most you can find elsewhere in the city.
Foodie travelers will be spoilt for choice by the various fine-dining options available. From French à la carte at the illustrious Pierre Gagnaire à Séoul, to a British high tea at The Lounge that would satisfy even Queen Liz herself, your taste buds can travel the world without even having to leave the comfort of the hotel.

The Rooms
- From both sides of the building, you have a stunning view of downtown Seoul: the South Korea president’s Blue House to the north, and Mount Namsan to the south. The only variant is that the higher up the building you go, the better your view.
- All rooms at the Seoul hotel come equipped with advanced tablet controls so that you can adjust the lighting and curtains without even getting out of bed.
