Np. I actually started a thread years ago with a wiki to detail the properties that allow more kids than what the website search shows. Haven't updated it in a long time though and I've stayed at/communicated with 2-3x the number of properties since. It's just hard to maintain a list plus I do think property rules are fluid so it's best to just contact the hotel directly and have their answers recorded in your communications.

Heading up to Taipei for a couple of days. Any updates on this property as a globalist? Is the breakfast back to lounge only or is there still a choice of cafe? Precovid it was lounge only. The TA reviews aren’t that great from the past 2 months. Maybe hotel hop around Taipei as well between the Grand Hyatt and the Marriott or Sheraton.

I had three stays here in November. Breakfast is only in the restaurant and is busy. The lounge is open from 11am to 9pm, with food and alcohol for two hours in the evening. Globalist upgrade was to a room on the lounge floor, and with a suite upgrade award to a Grand Suite King.

I just saw that there is now a Hyatt option for Taipei that is a Hyatt Place in New Taipei City: https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/ta...inzhuang/tpezn
Anyone have any news about it? Only an 8 minute walk from a metro stop, supposedly for Taoyuan but seems to have a direct line to Taipei Main Station and also to the Airport and the station allows you to drop off luggage and check it in at the Metro station. Unfortunately, even for a HP, standard rooms are only for 3 people max. Sigh.

as for in town check in, only EVA Air and China Airlines (and subs) offer it. Plus times are limited at A3 station.
with the SLH Eclat in more central Taipei going down to cat 2… it’s also a good choice though the rooms are not that big and elite benefits don’t apply.

Considering a quick stopover in Taipei as part of a larger trip to SEA with the kids - does anyone know if GH Taipei is enforcing the "one person per room" requirement that Taiwan appears to still have for the first 7 days in the country?

Q4. Can people entering Taiwan on the same day undergo self-initiated prevention in the same room?
A4: Yes. Staying in the same room is allowed if there is a need to do so. However, if one of the individuals entering Taiwan on the same day becomes a COVID-19 confirmed case, the other people who have been staying with the confirmed case will be listed as close contacts and should comply with related epidemic prevention measures.

It's not that there's no enforcement (although it is also true that there isn't lol) but that rule is a misnomer. It really should be one traveling party per room. Anyway, here is the relevant quote from the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov.tw/En/Category/Q...20as%20Day%200.
