That was actually the first talk of a PH Taipei AFAIK. Then Riant signed a deal with Hyatt to manage an Andaz and PH at Taipei Sky Tower in 2018. But then when rumors started swirling that the current GH Taipei might deflag, it revived speculation that whoever develops C1 might again contract with Hyatt to manage a property there, hence possibly a GH.

To be clear, the C1 superstructure may very well never get built. It's been under discussion for more than a decade (obviously since they approved the airport MRT) and IIRC at least four developers have canceled their plans over this time period.
Thanks for the info. I actually prefer the Taipei Main Station since it's near the MRT to the airport.

Off-topic, but is there a Hilton, Marriott, or a Hyatt near Main Station?

Thx bro!
