The interiors are dazzling yet understated, and feel like spaces you could easily spend more than a few nights in.

Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Shaded by banyan trees along Dunhua North Road, the hotel borders the quiet boutiques and independent cafes of the residential Minsheng neighborhood.
The rooms
Rooms feature hand-painted silk wall panels and travertine soaking tubs, while top suites add outdoor terraces with private heated plunge pools.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Scalloped red parasols shade the 14th-floor heated rooftop pool, and the cardio studio looks straight onto green tree canopies.
The spa
Sanctuary suites host lunar-phase therapies and herbal saunas, complemented by a sensory flotation pod and private hinoki soaking tub.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Dining spans five distinct spaces, from steaks grilled over longan charcoal at Ember 28 to omakase at a hinoki counter.
Capella Taipei resembles a palatial guest house tucked into one of the capital city’s most cultured avenues, where luxury meets the city’s lived-in soul.
How it began
Mori Building Group engineered the glass tower with dual-layer automated louvres, earning LEED Gold certification along leafy Dunhua North Road.
“Capella Taipei is making a splash not just for its inviting pool terrace rooms and suites – the only ones in the city – but for its considered design…”
