Lotte Hotels & Resorts announced on Friday the opening of L7 Chicago by Lotte, marking the brand’s fourth US property. The event celebrated the rebranding of the former Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Chicago under the L7 brand.
L7 Chicago, situated in a 14-story building with 191 rooms, is the first L7 hotel in North America. It joins Lotte’s other US locations: Lotte New York Palace, Lotte Hotel Seattle, and Lotte Hotel Guam. The hotel’s design was crafted by the firm AvroKO, which integrated elements of the Korean traditional textile technique “jogakbo” into features such as guest room carpets and lamp shades.
The hotel also boasts culinary offerings with Korean-American Steakhouse Perilla, led by renowned local chef Andrew Lim. The restaurant will highlight Korean-style barbecue, adding a unique gastronomic experience for guests.
This expansion reflects Lotte Hotels & Resorts’ commitment to growing its international footprint and bringing Korean cultural elements to a global audience.
