Building

In recent years, Seoul has been polishing its skyline with more architecturally advanced and taller buildings than ever before. Often doubling as commercial and residential spaces, the complexes offer visitors a different look on the city.
The soft shapes of the GT Tower let the structure shine among the regular business towers in its neighborhood. Inspired by Korean pottery, the facades of the GT Tower were designed to reflect the light differently from every angle. Visit at night and you’ll get to enjoy a beautiful dance of changing colors forming different patterns.

Having been completed in early 2017, the Lotte World Premium Tower is the newest addition to Seoul’s skyline. Sticking out of the ground like a sharp knife, the tower features shopping facilities and offices, as well as a seven-star luxury hotel. If you dare, visit the observation deck and rooftop café for thrilling views of the city.
