Where to sleep during overnight TPE layover?
My wife and I have an upcoming 9 hour overnight layover at TPE. We’re flying EVA business class but it doesn’t appear that the lounge is open all night.
Any ideas on where to sleep? I hate to go all the way into the city.
Appreciate any guidance you can offer.

I thought transits at TPE were suspended due to current Level 3 epidemic warning?
You should certainly check with your airline if your travel is even possible. You will certainly not be allowed to enter the country to overnight. IIRC even prior to the Level 3 warning, transits were limited to 8 hours.

During normal times, there's a Novotel Hotel five minutes away from the airport. Airside there is rooms in one of the Plaza Premium Lounges in T2 airside. Both are closed for the foreseeable future.The former is being exclusively used as a quarantine hotel for China Airlines crew right now, given China Airlines owns the hotel.

All that said, should TPE and Taiwan fully reopen, traveling into Taipei from TPE is not that difficult with the Taoyuan Airport MRT only taking about 35 minutes to Taipei Main Station where there are many hotel options including Western-brand hotels in the vicinity.
