Lotte Hotel opens in Samara
By Kang Seung-woo
Lotte Hotels and Resorts has opened the Lotte Hotel Samara in Russia ― the first five-star hotel in Russia's sixth-largest city.
Plus, it is the third hotel to enter into a management agreement with the Korean hospitality giant. A hotel management contract is an agreement between a management company, or an operator, and a property owner.
Lotte also has two hotels under management deals in Yangon, Myanmar, and Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Samara, referred to as Russia's hub city of traffic and industry, was one of the hosts of the World Cup earlier this year.
The hotel has 193 rooms and 12 conference rooms that can accommodate up to 1,400 people.
