Lotte Tour Development Revamps Jeju Dream Tower Food Court With Budget-Friendly Menu

With dining costs rising, a five-star hotel in Jeju is betting on sharply lower prices. Lotte Tour Development has overhauled its food court at the Jeju Dream Tower integrated resort, rolling out a menu that starts with bakery items priced in the 1,000-won range and tteokbokki in the 4,000-won range.

Lotte Tour Development said on 27 it reopened the renovated “Dream Food Court” on the third floor of Grand Hyatt Jeju inside the Jeju Dream Tower integrated resort.

The renovation rebrands the former “Popup Plaza,” aiming to offer premium dishes cooked by five-star hotel chefs at prices comparable to street food. The venue kept its existing cafe and juice bar and added three new counters — Korean Fried, Korean Rice & Noodle, and a bunsik snack shop — to broaden choices.

◆ Five-star chefs, street-level prices

Prices have been cut significantly. Popular Korean street-food staples such as gimbap and tteokbokki are priced in the 4,000- to 5,000-won range. Dishes including spicy pork rice bowls, kimchi fried rice and noodle items are kept under 10,000 won. Fried chicken is available in the 13,000-won range.

The company said it is strengthening its lineup of reasonably priced Korean food to draw not only hotel guests but also walk-in visitors.

◆ Open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Hours have also been extended. The food court will operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., covering breakfast through late-night snacks.

A “Morning Bakery Selection” runs from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., selling freshly baked croissants and salt bread in the 1,000-won range, targeting customers looking for a cheaper alternative to a breakfast buffet. Health-focused items such as salads, wellness juices and yogurt are also offered for under 8,000 won.

All items are available for takeout through an “All day Grab & Go” service. Customers can pack sandwiches or bibimbap for outings to Jeju’s oreum hills or beaches, or bring chicken and fried items back to their rooms.

“In a time when eating-out costs have become a burden, we raised both value and satisfaction so anyone can enjoy premium dishes prepared by five-star hotel chefs without 부담,” a company official said. “We will provide a wide range of dining experiences tailored to travel schedules and tastes.”

Jeju Dream Tower, described by the company as a landmark for Jeju tourism, has 1,600 all-suite rooms and 14 food-and-beverage outlets staffed by global star chefs.
