Hotel Lotte Co. will launch a lifestyle hotel and aquarium in the soon-to-open 128,900-square-meter shopping complex, Lotte Mall Westlake Hanoi.
The five-star boutique hotel brand, L7 Hanoi, with a French-colonial design, will be located on the seventh to 22nd floor of the shopping complex.
It will be the first L7 to open outside of South Korea. There are three L7 hotels in Seoul, located in Hongdae, Myeongdong, and Gangnam.
The L7 Hanoi will have 264 hotel rooms and 192 residence rooms with views of Westlake available from the balconies of all the rooms, an infinity pool, a spa, a fitness center, and four restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Tim Ho Wan.
Lotte World, the entertainment arm of Hotel Lotte, also plans to open a 9,100-square-meter aquarium showcasing 31,000 marine creatures of over 400 different species.
Earlier this year, Lotte Properties Hanoi Co., a Vietnamese subsidiary of retail-to-leisure conglomerate Lotte Group, unveiled its plan to open the Lotte Mall Westlake Hanoi, in the Tay Ho area of the Vietnamese capital on Aug. 25.
The mall will become the biggest commercial shopping complex in Vietnam, hosting shops of more than 50 popular brands, such as a Samsung flagship store, Apple Store, Dyson, Chanel, and TAG Heuer, as well as those 51 brands that have not entered the country yet.
