Lotte is planning another Lotte City Hotel Chain between the Signature Tower and 101 Pine Avenue. The hotel will be called "Lotte City Hotel Janggyo" and have 22 levels with 453 business-type rooms. Lotte is also planning to open another City Hotel in Myeongdong by 2015.
The second Park Hyatt-branded Hotel In South Korea opens in Marine City, Busan on February 18th. It has 269 rooms including 69 suites; 66 Park Suites, 2 Executive Suites and 1 Presidential Suite. All the roomes and restaurants have view of the marina and the Diamond Bridge. It will be perfect for the Busan International Fireworks Festival. The hotel was designed by Daniel Libeskind and Tokyo-based Super Potato will design the hotel's interiors. Hyatt is considering opening its first Andaz-branded hotel in Busan as well. The pictures below are some of the interiors. More visitors are coming from China, Japan and other parts of Asia, and there's a big demand for accommodation facility in Central Seoul. In response, 24 hotels have got approval for business promotion and 3,100 new rooms will be available in the near future. The landmark shopping mall in MyeongDong, Migliore is planning to change a hotel with 780 rooms. Basement and first two levels will be still a shopping place but level 3 to level 17 will be used as hotel rooms. The renovation will start in November 2011. M-Plaza is making a plan to renovate its leven 6~22 and make 320 rooms. First 5 levels will be still used for Zara & Forever 21. In Dongdaemun area, it's already happening. On level 18~20 in Cerestar shopping mall, Eastgate Tower Hotel has been open for business since 2008. Each room is equipped with kitchen facilities. There's a plan that they will turn the whole 22 levels into hotel facility. On Jongro 6-ga, another Marriott Hotel of 172 rooms is under construction and Seodaemun Art Hall will be changed into a hotel. The profitability of big clothing shopping malls is getting lower and considering the success of Ibis Ambassador MyeongDong (Room Occupancy Rate in 2010 was 96.8%), it seems that they have found a right answer. |
