LOTTE Hotels & Resorts Gains Foothold In Global Hotel Market
LOTTE HOTELS & RESORTS, the hotel brand representing South Korea, is accelerating global franchising drive based on its 40-year know-how in hotel operation. LOTTE whose combined number of rooms exceeds 11,000, is currently operating 32 hotels and resorts in seven countries and has established itself as a hotel brand favored by people around the world.
▶ Seeking vigorous expansion to become a leading global hotel chain; now operates 12 hotels internationally
LOTTE is aggressive in its global advancement whereas the other Korean hotel groups tend to focus only in domestic market. Its global operation, which started with the opening of LOTTE HOTEL MOSCOW in 2010, has continued to expand, leading to the opening of chains in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam in 2013; Hanoi, Vietnam and Guam in 2014; New York in 2015; Yangon, Myanmar, St. Petersburg and Arai, Japan in 2017; Samara and Vladivostok, Russia, in 2018; and Seattle in 2020.
LOTTE HOTEL MOSCOW, the first global chain hotel of LOTTE, won the Cond é Nast Traveler for two years in a row in 2012 and 2013. In 2014, it was honored as "Best Hotel in Europe" and "Best Hotel Restaurant in Europe" by the Villegiature Awards 2014. LOTTE’s such commendable performance gave fresh impetus to the global hotel industry.
LOTTE NEW YORK PALACE, which the company acquired for the first time for a Korean hotel brand, is famous for serving as “the second White House" during the U.N. General Assembly held every September. In April 2018, Forbes Travel Guide chose LOTTE NEW YORK PALACE as one of the "21 Hot Hotels Around The Globe". These are one of the evidences that prove LOTTE’s high reputation in New York where leading hotel chains around the world fiercely compete. In September 2020 with the successful opening of LOTTE HOTEL SEATTLE, its fourth franchised hotel, LOTTE consolidates its place as a rising global hotel group traversing the U.S.
