What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Set between the city’s creative parks and Alishan’s mountain trails, it makes a practical base for urban explorers and nature-bound travelers alike.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Shixian Road's tree-lined bike path runs past the entrance, and Wenhua Road Night Market is a ten-minute drive away.
The rooms
Bedrooms occupy floors 16 to 31, where floor-to-ceiling glass looks straight out across the flat Chiayi plain.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Mosaic-tiled columns line the heated lap pool, where tall windows face out across the countryside.
The hydrotherapy pool
Blue mosaic walls surround the hydrotherapy pool, set beside a shallow wading basin with a mushroom water fountain.
Arcadia Restaurant
Morning buffets spread across marble counters on the second floor, beneath slatted timber ceiling baffles.
Restaurant
Lobby Café
A timber counter serves coffee and pastries on the ground floor, set beside low lounge armchairs.
At the table
Fu Yue Lou serves Cantonese dim sum on the thirty-second floor, and the neon-lit sky bar overlooks the city lights.
How it began
The glass tower replaced an unfinished shell that stood abandoned for years before Lihpao Group redeveloped the site.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
