Incheon Airport to LOTTE Hotel Seoul: Bus 6701, AREX or Taxi?

QUICK ANSWER

For most travelers with luggage, K Airport Limousine 6701 is the easiest route from Incheon Airport to LOTTE Hotel Seoul because it stops at the hotel area without a subway transfer.

Option 1: Airport Limousine 6701

  1. After baggage claim, follow signs for Airport Bus / Limousine Bus.
  2. Buy a ticket for route 6701. Confirm the current boarding bay because Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 use different stops.
  3. Tell the staff your destination is 롯데호텔 서울 or the Euljiro 1-ga/Lotte Hotel stop.
  4. Place large luggage in the bus compartment and keep the baggage tag.
  5. After getting off, the hotel entrance is only a short walk away.
Allow extra time: Road traffic can substantially delay the bus. Do not plan a tight tour, train or restaurant reservation immediately after arrival.

Option 2: AREX all-stop train + Subway Line 2

  1. Take the AREX all-stop train from Terminal 1 or Terminal 2.
  2. Get off at Hongik University Station.
  3. Transfer to Subway Line 2 toward City Hall.
  4. Get off at Euljiro 1-ga Station.
  5. Follow the live walking route to 롯데호텔 서울.

This route avoids highway traffic but requires a transfer and longer station walks. With two large suitcases, Bus 6701 is normally easier.

Option 3: Taxi

Show the driver 롯데호텔 서울, 서울 중구 을지로 30. The final fare varies with traffic, tolls, taxi type and late-night surcharges. Check the live estimate in Kakao T or NAVER Map before leaving the airport.
