Are Lotte hotels luxury?
Pearl, a hotel review publication, places LOTTE City Hotel Myeongdong in the mid-range tier. It describes the property as a practical, centrally located option with limited spa and pool amenities compared with LOTTE flagships and luxury competitors such as Four Seasons Seoul and Conrad Seoul.
Pearl’s editorial view is that the City Hotel tier is a practical mid-range option rather than a luxury play, and that the luxury competitors offer more room size, dining depth and service at a price premium. The listed star ratings across the set run from 3-star at Guro, Ulsan, Mapo and Gimpo Airport to 4-star at Myeongdong, Daejeon, Jeju and Kinshicho in Tokyo.
How the listed properties compare
| Property | Listed location | Listed star rating | Amenities listed in sources | Listed price or rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LOTTE City Hotel Myeongdong | Jung-gu, Seoul; 435 rooms | 4-star (Agoda) | Limited spa and pool facilities (Pearl) | 8.9/10 from 636-640 reviews (Trip.com); 8.6-8.9 across aggregators (KAYAK) |
| LOTTE City Hotel Guro | Guro Digital Complex, Seoul; 283 rooms | 3-star (Tripadvisor) | Not listed in sources | 4.7/5 from 703-732 reviews; $92-$213 (Skyscanner) |
| LOTTE City Hotel Daejeon | Yuseong-gu, beside the Convention Center; 306 rooms | 4-star (Agoda) | Convention Center proximity (Agoda) | 8.8 from 12,884 reviews; $151-$200 room prices (Agoda) |
| LOTTE City Hotel Ulsan | Nam-gu, Ulsan; 350 rooms | 3-star (Agoda) | Not listed in sources | No rating or rate in sources |

Listed rates and ratings
- Guro: average standard room rates of $92-$213 (Skyscanner)
- Daejeon: room prices of $151-$200 (Agoda)
- Jeju: from $136 (trivago)
The trade-off is that only three of the eight properties show a listed rate, so a like-for-like price comparison is not possible from these sources.
Note: The rating scales differ. Guro’s Skyscanner score is out of 5, while Myeongdong’s Trip.com score is out of 10, so the two cannot be ranked against each other directly.
Is LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG good?
The property has 435 rooms and is listed as a 4-star hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul. Skyscanner lists check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out before 11:00 AM.
Tip: Check live rates on the booking site before you decide. This comparison did not verify rates at the time of publication.
Trip.com lists an 8.9/10 score from 636-640 reviews, with cleanliness at 9.1 and location at 9.0. Across aggregators the score ranges from 8.6 to 8.9, which the source set attributes to differences in review counts and scoring methods. No source in this set gives a listed nightly rate for the property.
Our pick
For guests whose priority is a central Seoul base, LOTTE City Hotel Myeongdong is the strongest choice in this set. Its listing combines a 4-star rating and 435 rooms with a central location that Pearl describes, and an 8.9/10 score on Trip.com. Guests who want the lowest listed rate should compare it with Guro, which lists average standard room rates between $92 and $213, and where some guests say the hotel is somewhat removed from central Seoul.
Which Lotte City Hotels list a restaurant?
The sources gathered for this comparison do not list a restaurant at any of the eight properties. They say nothing about fitness facilities or free WiFi either. Pearl’s reference to dining depth concerns Four Seasons Seoul and Conrad Seoul, not any LOTTE City Hotel.
Warning: Dining availability is unconfirmed for every property in this set. Ask the hotel directly before booking if a restaurant matters to your stay.
LOTTE Hotel locations
Listings in the set place properties in Seoul (Myeongdong, Guro, Mapo and Gimpo Airport), Daejeon, Ulsan, Jeju and Kinshicho in Tokyo. The Gimpo Airport property sits in Gangseo-gu with 197 rooms and a 3-minute transfer to the airport. No listing data was found for a Busan property.

Which property fits which guest
- Guests comparing the lowest listed rate: Guro, with average standard room rates of $92-$213.
- Guests wanting a central Seoul base: Myeongdong, a 4-star hotel with 435 rooms.
- Guests who want to be near the Convention Center: Daejeon.
- Guests who want a pool: Jeju, with a rooftop outdoor pool and hot tub, or Mapo, where pool access carries an extra daily fee.
TL;DR: Dining, fitness and WiFi cannot be confirmed for any property here, and only Guro, Daejeon and Jeju show a listed rate.
The catch is that dining cannot be confirmed for any property in this set, so it should be checked with each hotel before booking.
Who owns the Lotte Hotel?
The sources gathered for this comparison include no official LOTTE Hotels & Resorts page and no business registry record. This article therefore cannot confirm the operating company, its legal name or its founding date.
The listings do show how the brand is organised. Pearl separates the City Hotel tier from LOTTE flagships and describes the City Hotel as mid-range. Every property in the set carries the LOTTE City Hotel name, and none is labelled a flagship in the sources reviewed.
What to watch: ownership details should come from an official LOTTE Hotels & Resorts source or a government business registry, and neither was part of this source set.
“The City Hotel tier in the LOTTE portfolio is a practical mid-range option, not a luxury play.”

“Against the top tier of Seoul hotels, LOTTE City Hotel Myeongdong is not a direct competitor: and that’s the point.”
