Best Review: “Lotte Hotel Seoul – A delicious breakfast at a 5-star hotel with a swimming pool”
Summary of the Blog Post
Today I’d like to introduce you to Lotte Hotel Seoul located in Myeongdong. This hotel is conveniently connected directly to Euljiro Entrance Station making it an excellent location for travellers. What made me decide to visit this hotel was hearing the phrase “Lotte is serious about food and beverages.”
One of the major attractions of Lotte Hotel is its club lounge which provides more extensive services than the standard rooms including breakfast, afternoon tea and unlimited alcohol.
The hotel consists of two buildings – the Main Tower and Executive Tower. On this occasion, I stayed in the Main Tower but I’m eager to experience the Executive Tower next time.
The rooms are spacious and boast a view of Namsan Tower. The swimming pool and sauna facilities are well-maintained and club lounge guests can use the sauna for free.
The sincerity of Lotte Hotel Seoul in terms of food and beverages was impressive. From afternoon tea to happy hour, a variety of menus were provided, and breakfast was delicious.
If you’re looking for a 5-star hotel in Seoul with an excellent club lounge, I highly recommend Lotte Hotel Seoul!
