French-styled boutique hotel to open 

Shinsegae Chosun Hotel will be launching a new boutique hotel named L’Escape in central Seoul, with a stylish French concept.

French architect Jacques Garcia designed the hotel, inspired by the 19th century aristocracy in Paris. The interior of the hotel aims to re-create the atmosphere of the city.

As its name suggests, the hotel hopes to serve as a place where people can “escape.”

The 25-story building will hold 204 rooms, along with a modern Chinese restaurant, contemporary restaurant, tea salon and bar. L’Escape is to open in July. Its website (www.lescapehotel.com) is set to launch by the end of May.
