The Lotte World Tower houses retail spaces, offices, a luxury hotel, and an officitel—or studio-apartment style accommodations meant for the people who work in the building and which feature a slew of amenities. At the base of the building, the ten-story Lotte World Mall plaza, inspired by Rockefeller Center, has already been open since 2014, and is a popular destination in the city, drawing 28.2 million people in its first year. That’s the equivalent of one out of every two South Koreans. The two building components are connected via interior pathways as well as an outdoor public space.
Large urban spaces surround the development, creating opportunities for outdoor events. During more quiet periods, visitors are able to picnic relax. Two sunken gardens connect the entire basement level to the subway station, lake and neighboring blocks.
