With a total floor area of approximately 354,000㎡ (about 107,000 pyeong), Lotte Mall Westlake held a soft opening on July 28 and fully opened on September 22. It is a mega commercial complex housing a shopping mall, mart, hotel, aquarium, and cinema. As of the 100th day since the full opening on the 30th, the cumulative number of visitors reached 4.2 million, averaging 30,000 visitors per day.

Among the total 233 stores in the shopping mall, 25 brands were introduced for the first time in Vietnam, and 28 brands for the first time in Hanoi. The Chanel Christmas popup installed outdoors in November has become the most popular photo spot in Hanoi, attracting the largest crowds, and the fountain plaza is also famous as a must-visit dating course among young couples.

The 5-star hotel 'L7 Westlake Hanoi,' which opened alongside the shopping mall, reportedly exceeded a 50% monthly room occupancy rate within three months after its full opening. This hotel is the first L7 brand overseas opened by Lotte Hotel & Resort. In particular, the 21st-floor buffet restaurant offers a direct view of the traditional affluent district of Tay Ho (West Lake), making it one of the best scenic spots in Hanoi. It is also praised for being only a 20-minute drive from Hanoi Noi Bai Airport.
