Rooms
Crisp cotton yukatas and deep soaking tubs bring classic ryokan comforts to sleek, wood-paneled rooms high above Zhongshan.
Wellness
An open-air heated pool commands the rooftop, flanked by a top-floor Japanese sauna and hot tubs overlooking the skyline.
Backstory
Hong Kong’s Rocco Design Architects crafted the 18-story tower, bringing Tokyo’s storied Hotel Okura lineage to Taipei in 2012.
Eat & drink
Outposts of Tokyo’s Yamazato and Toh-Ka-Lin serve refined kaiseki and Cantonese fare, while The Nine bakery boxes fresh pineapple cakes.
The neighborhood
Step outside onto Nanjing East Road to wander the indie cafes and vintage boutiques lining nearby Chifeng Street.
“The look is an eminently palatable contemporary-classic, and the comforts are indisputably high-end; among its restaurants are Chinese and Japanese options as well as a café featuring European pastries as interpreted by Japan’s most devoted patissiers.”
