What it’s good at
Notable
A 1984 Ren'ai Road address where Taipei families gather for dim sum and multi-generational wedding banquets.

Antique rosewood furniture, calligraphy scrolls, and regional dining rooms serving Taiwanese classics like Formosa on level B1.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along the tree-lined boulevard of Ren'ai Road, the hotel sits a short walk from Da'an boutiques and two central MRT stations.
The rooms
Boxy furnishings and traditional Chinese rosewood accents pair with marble-clad bathrooms, set high above the street to keep city noise at bay.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The curved outdoor pool sits open to the sky, bordered by sun loungers and a white pergola.
Gym and sauna
Treadmills and weights face mirrored walls across polished wood floors, supported by on-site saunas and steam rooms.
At the table
Dining rooms across several floors serve Jiangzhe recipes at Yangtse River and afternoon tea beneath the central skylight.
How it began
Established in 1984 by the Liao family, this red-brick landmark was designed around an extensive collection of museum-quality Chinese antique rosewood furniture.
