Louis Vuitton has opened a fine-dining restaurant inside its new six-floor Seoul flagship, extending the brand’s push deeper into hospitality. (lvmh.com) The restaurant, called JP at Louis Vuitton, sits on the sixth floor of LV The Place Seoul in Shinsegae The Reserve, part of Shinsegae Department Store in Jung-gu. Louis Vuitton said the larger Visionary Journeys Seoul complex opened in December 2025. (retailboss.co) (lvmh.com) Chef Junghyun Park leads the restaurant with a menu Louis Vuitton said centers on local cuisine and Korean influences. Park is the Seoul-born chef behind Atomix in New York, which the Michelin Guide lists with two stars. (lvmh.com) (guide.michelin.com) Visionary Journeys Seoul is built as more than a store. Louis Vuitton said the site combines retail, exhibition space and dining across six floors, with a three-floor cultural installation designed with architect Shohei Shigematsu of Office for Metropolitan Architecture. (lvmh.com) (hypebeast.com) The Seoul project gives Louis Vuitton two food venues in the city. The company opened Café Louis Vuitton at its Maison Seoul store in early September 2025, several months before launching the Shinsegae concept with JP at Louis Vuitton and Le Café Louis Vuitton. (lvmh.com 1) (lvmh.com 2) Louis Vuitton has been building these mixed-use spaces in Asia before Seoul. The company said the new site follows earlier “cultural escapade” concepts in Shanghai and Bangkok. (lvmh.com) Seoul is not a random choice for that expansion. Louis Vuitton said it opened its first store in Seoul in 1984, and the new complex ties the city to the house’s travel heritage, monogram history and current cultural reach. (lvmh.com) The result is a flagship that asks visitors to shop, walk through an exhibition and book a tasting menu in the same building. In Seoul, Louis Vuitton is selling the store as a destination, not just a place to buy a bag. (lvmh.com) (retailboss.co)
