LOTTE HOTEL SEOUL

checkin

Between Euljiro Entrance and City Hall Station. The history of the hotel comes alive. The first is the Joseon Hotel, the oldest Western-style hotel in Seoul in the 1930s. The Westin Chosun today. And the Bando Hotel built next to it, 1938.

And time passed and it was 1979. Lotte Hotel Seoul will be built on the site of the former Bando Hotel. Under the mission of 'build taller and bigger', it establishes itself as the tallest place in Seoul at the time.

In addition, there are more than 1,000 guest rooms. Even now, a hotel of this size feels grand, but what it was like about 40 years ago. According to the records of past sales, there was a huge crowd on weekends at that time, so it is possible to guess what the status of Lotte Hotel Seoul was.

Lotte Hotel Seoul, which has been maintaining its site for over 40 years, underwent renovations and repairs in one place.
I wondered what kind of day I could experience here. So the card is scratched again.

Now, let's check-in to the main building of Lotte Hotel Seoul today.


👉 A room with a unique atmosphere

Five. Attractive. Coming to this place rather than looking at the new hotels is more interesting. The room structure is unique.

Once the space is wide open, it is not stuffy and cool. The color of the glass wall that separates the bathroom and toilet and the overall color of the room harmonize in a strange way.

And the dressing room is inside the room, so you don't have to spread your luggage in the room. The best thing is that it is different.

right location. Location determines the view. You can see Namsan Tower as well as the city hall from the room. It even has a bathtub view, which is a plus.


👉 Smart TV. YouTube available

It’s a moment when you feel like you are constantly keeping pace with the fast-changing flow. I thought that only satellite channels would come out, but I was wrong. You can watch YouTube on TV. If you want to watch a movie, you can pay for rental with your personal account and hit it.


👉 Lighting that makes you feel more cozy and atmospheric

If you go to this room, first turn off all lights and turn on only the lamps.

You can enjoy the room more comfortably because the brightness can be adjusted subtly. Drinking wine while looking out the window is already a break in itself.


👉 Lounge (The Peninsula) on the 1st floor that is overwhelmed by space

It was a pity to leave immediately after checking out, so I went to this place to have a cup of coffee. I would have regretted it if I hadn't gone. From large chandeliers to the gorgeous details of the pillars. I feel confident. And if I can give you one tip, it is better to make a reservation for this place in advance.

Don't forget to make a reservation if you want to spend time watching the small waterfall from the window. (I just went in blindly and couldn't get to it)


👉 One more tip when making a reservation on the official website.

If you are a Lotte Hotel member, coupons are sometimes given. When I made a reservation, there was a 'Fruit Cutty' coupon. When I used it, there was even a shine musket, apples, and tangerines + macarons in the room.

With this in mind, I hope that you can enjoy your vacation with a little more profit, even if you pay the same cost.
