►"The Sky Taipei" Highlight #03: The reason why Andaz is located on a higher floor than Park Hyatt
As soon as the architectural renderings came out in 2018, it was announced that the floor of the Andaz Taipei Hotel would be higher than that of the Park Hyatt Hotel in Taipei, which immediately aroused a lot of discussion from the outside world. According to common sense, the brand positioning of Park Hyatt is higher than that of Andaz. If the two major hotel brands are in the same building, the floors of Park Hyatt should be higher than Andaz. Regarding this layout, the Shuohe development team also shared with us the reason for Guzhongyuan: "The first is the "moving line". The floors where Andaz is located are the 30th to 49th floors of the back building. Tenants need to take the express elevator from the first floor to the 49th floor. Check in at the hotel lobby, and then go down to the floor where the guest rooms are (30-43 floors); the Park Hyatt is on the 16-28 floors of the back building, but we set the hotel lobby directly on the side facing the park. We think guests staying at the Park Hyatt will appreciate the simple, direct, quiet and low-key process."

"The second consideration is 'landscape'. From an architectural point of view, the height of each floor is higher than the average floor height in Taiwan, so the 16th floor of the Park Hyatt Hotel is almost the 20th floor of the building next to it. Since the surrounding buildings are actually not too high, we believe that the high-altitude scenery that can be seen between the 16th and 28th floors is the most beautiful. If it is any higher, the scenery will become as small as ants. After multiple considerations, we believe it is most appropriate to place the Park Hyatt in the middle of the floor, while Andaz's presence on the high floors also echoes the brand's dynamic and trendy tone."
