Luxury Hotels in Taipei
Any recommendations? The last thread on this was quite some time back. Strangely for a major asian city, the usual luxury chains, ie FS, RC, MO, St Regis and Pen are all missing. For reference, I've tried Sheraton and Shangri-la and they are OK as business hotels but I'm not impressed by either.
I plan to stay 4 nights, 2 for business ( may try the Westin this time ) and 2 for leisure. |
sherwood and landis were the other best regarded here.

Well, Hyatt is in the best location but it's not a hotel that I'd recommend, but indeed great for business and shopping
I like Sherwood, Landis is just too far out from the city center, or you can try Les Suites I'd recommend Villa 32 for leisure, but not convenient for business as it is located outskirts of town |
Taipei: Grand Hyatt gets my nod ...

I haven't tried these yet, but how about some boutique hotels?
1.) Les Suite Taipei? www.suitetpe.com 2.) Hotel Quote? www.hotel-quote.com |
Anyone tried this yet?
http://www.eclathotels.com/taipei/ On website, looks good. Lots of gadgets / amenities but I'm not sure, after some experience, hotels with too much of these gadgets often have more style than substances. Ie, nice to look / play but not practical / comfortable. |

Ie, nice to look / play but not practical / comfortable. You are right about the boutique hotels having more gadgets & style than substances. But more often the issue for me is the lack space and facilities in these hotels. Some of them may be reduced to a place simply to sleep overnight. Almost all hotels in Taipei are strictly for business and none of them try to strike a balance between business and leisure. In a few years Taipei will see high end hotels like Mandarin Oriental and perhaps a FS. But for now I think the one with best room and amenities is grand Formosa while grand hyatt has the best location. In terms of service I would say Landis is pretty good. Non of the hotel comes out as a clear choice given the standard of the luxury hotel forum on flyertalk. So I would say just pick what suites your needs. |
thanks for villa 32 details the_amanized. how does it compare to landis and sherwood? (service)
are MO and FS still in development, or were they suspended? |

The facilities and service, in my opinion, is much more attentive than landis or sherwood because villa 32 only has 6 suites in total, which allows them to provide an more intimate service (remembering your names, discrete, telepathic...etc). As far as I know, in early 2009 MO is in the pre-sale phase of their service apartment. So I reckon the project is still on. As for FS, no news is heard yet. |
