The Lotte Hotel Seoul will transform into a party venue on June 21, to mark the summer solstice.
Titled “La Notte Bianca,” guests will have a chance to enjoy wine and food at a semi buffet from 6 p.m. through midnight.
For the “La Notte Bianca,” the hotel’s first-floor lobby and the outside area will turn into a party place. Restaurants and bars include the Italian restaurant Peninsula, the outdoor café CoolPubs Plaza, the Lounge, the buffet restaurant La Seine and Star Avenue that is the entrance path to duty free shops.
At the hotel’s lobby, a wine both, a cocktail counter, a DJ booth and stage will be installed where a Latin Jazz group and a jazz band will perform. Special events such as a contest to open wine bottles and wine auctions will take place. There will also be a kiosk selling caricatures and to offering Tarot card readings for 5,000 won. The hotel will hold a lucky draw offering tickets to its restaurants including the buffet restaurant, bags and premium wine. A dance floor will be set up outside.
The hotel has made preparations for an estimated 1,000 guests to attend that night. For the June 21 event, the hotel will issue two types of passes — a standard and premium with the latter giving access to the buffet restaurant La Seine. The standard is priced at 85,000 won and the premium at 150,000 won (including tax and VAT charges). Entrance to the buffet restaurant will begin at 10:30 p.m. For more information, call (02) 371-7311~5.
