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."
