and Wi-Fi, the Grand Ballroom is ideal
for seminars and workshops that can
easily break out to six other naturally-
lit meeting rooms. Whether the day
is spent working or playing, a good
night's rest is assured with a steam in
the hotel sauna.
An establishment in Busan's
city centre, Lotte Hotel Busan has
sustained its appeal with frequent
refurbishments: its executive and
deluxe rooms go up to 47sqm – making
them the largest standard rooms in
the city – and have been updated with
modern, sophisticated touches. The
Crystal Ballroom seats up to 2,000 and
the function rooms accommodate
100 to 200 guests; the hotel's four
restaurants and lounge offer 18 private
dining rooms.
Renovations of the facilities and
rooms at Paradise Hotel & Casino
is due be completed in June 2017,
enhancing the opulent modern décor
– think mosaic-tiled bathrooms, velvet
couches, and brushed steel finishes –
that already features in most of its 481
rooms. The 600sqm Grand Ballroom
and eight other function rooms offer
flexibility for events of any size, but
clinking glasses of microbrew at
Charlie's, the in-house English pub,
may be just the ticket for sealing a
business deal.
