In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Perched above Taipei City Hall station, the tower places guests steps from Xinyi's luxury malls, lively nightspots, and Taipei 101.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame city skyline panoramas and Taipei 101, paired with deep soaking tubs, warm timber, and colorful modern accents.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated year-round on the tenth floor, the 25-meter outdoor pool is bordered by sun loungers and stainless steel sculptures.
The spa
Treatment suites at AWAY Spa look out on Taipei 101 through full-height glass during restorative massage rituals.
Gym and hydrotherapy
A 24-hour Technogym fitness studio sits beside hydrotherapy wet rooms with hot whirlpool baths, saunas, and steam rooms.
YEN Chinese Restaurant
High on the 31st floor, modern Cantonese dishes and dim sum arrive against sweeping city views.
The contemporary décor features a mix of materials, including stone, glass and wood for a natural touch.
Bar
WOOBAR
The double-height lounge on the tenth floor pours craft cocktails infused with local oolong tea and Taiwanese kaoliang.
At the table
On the top floor, purple velvet banquettes look straight toward the Taipei 101 spire over drinks and afternoon tea.
How it began
The building concept draws from Yangmingshan National Park, blending Taiwan's mountainous landscapes with the high-voltage neon energy of the city.
“All 405 rooms, flanked by cityscape views, have been designed as private sanctuaries inspired by nature.”
