THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

THE GRAND LOTTE SEOUL (Formerly: Lotte Hotel Seoul)

10/10 Excellent
"The best location! This 5-star hotel is located right across the street from Myeong-dong’s shopping area. I love how it separates the busy shopping district from the hotel’s peaceful, upscale atmosphere. Once you cross the street from Myeong-dong shopping street, it feels much quieter and more luxurious. The perfect location for shopping while still enjoying a relaxing stay!"
