Michelin Selected
Michelin
The design is inviting, with custom furniture, soft textures, and skyline views through full-length windows.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Hsinchu Science Park sits minutes away in the East District, and the city center is a short drive away.
The rooms
Tenth-floor loft suites span two stories with six-meter ceilings, looking straight out over the city skyline.
The gym
Treadmills face tall windows and mirrored walls inside the double-height fitness room beneath an open mezzanine.
Bar
Westwood
A curved green island bar serves retro cocktails and West Coast bistro dishes under hanging brass fixtures.
At the table
Guests share long wooden tables and striped velvet booths at SOCIAL for all-day coffee and evening drinks.
How it began
The building originally operated as the Miramar Hotel before owner Riant Capital took over, relaunching it under Hyatt in 2022.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
