"A world-class hotel, it is central to the financial district and convenient to the subway."
Full review
Rough Guide
"Like others in the chain, the Lotte sits on top of a busy shopping mall."
Michelin Guide
"An upscale hotel adjacent to the Olympic Park. If you have children, you can rent a Character Room with magical decorations."
Lonely Planet
"Next to the theme park Lotte World, this luxury hotel is typical of Lotte’s version of ‘euro palatial’. Natural wood and pastel shades make the rooms less flamboyant than the public areas."
Oyster
Upscale
"This upscale 469-room property in Jamsil-dong is part of Lotte World -- a sprawling fun zone that encompasses one of the world’s largest indoor amusement parks."

Rough Guide
"Don’t be fooled by the cheesy stylings of the lobby; rooms are almost unbearably opulent, filled with antique lamps, oil paintings and other mementos of the owner’s... trips abroad."
Michelin Guide
"An upmarket hotel with extravagant decor, defined as "the elegance of antique European style"."
Fodor's
"For a decidedly Korean take on a lavish European hotel, look no further than the Imperial Palace."
