South Korean retail giant Lotte will manage the new hotel for 20 years in contract with Daewoo Amara, in what will be the first five-star accommodation facility it operates on commission outside of the country. The resorts firm has a similar arrangement for Lotte City Hotel Tashkent in Uzbekistan, which is a business hotel class.
