About us
L7 Chicago by LOTTE is a bold new entry to the U.S. hotel scene. Bringing a fresh take on hospitality to the heart of the Loop just steps from Chicago's Riverwalk. Ranked in the top 10% of Chicago hotels on TripAdvisor, we recently completed a full renovation of our guestrooms, lobby, and public spaces, blending clean modern design with warm Korean-inspired touches. Our meeting and event space remains in its original condition for now, classic in style, well-maintained, and highly functional for planners who prioritize layout, location, and flexibility. It’s a smart option for teams focused on content, connection, and convenience. From elevated dining at PERILLA to art-forward interiors and thoughtful service, L7 offers something new in Chicago: a meeting destination where East meets Midwest with confidence and character.
