"Lotte Hotels & Resorts has grown to be the largest hotel group in Korea, but it all started at the flagship. Lotte Hotel Seoul, in a gleaming high-rise perfectly positioned near City Hall, about midway between Deoksugung Palace and the Myeongdong Cathedral, was the largest luxury hotel in Asia when it opened in the late 1970s; thanks to ongoing renovations and additions, it’s kept up with the times. Rooms and suites are every bit as refined as you’d expect of a five-star business hotel, with state-of-the-art technological features, luxe he:on beds, and sweeping views over the city below. A futuristic indoor pool and spa, plus a range of high-end bars and restaurants — including the glamorous Peninsula lounge, a modern Korean bakery, a sushi bar facing Bukhansan Mountain, and a Parisian-inspired cocktail bar — add to the appeal." - Tablet Hotels
