Top 10 Hotels in Taipei

Top 10 Hotels in Taipei

Taipei’s hotel scene is defined by two things: proximity to Taipei 101 and a genuine embarrassment of international luxury brands packed into a fairly compact downtown. Xinyi District alone hosts a Grand Hyatt, a W and a Humble House within a few minutes’ walk of each other, while Zhongshan and Da’an offer a quieter, more design-forward alternative a short MRT ride away.

We picked ten hotels spanning the city’s biggest luxury names, a couple of design-led boutiques, and well-reviewed newer builds near the main train station, so there’s a fit whether you’re here for the night markets, the shopping, or a business trip. Every listing links straight to the hotel’s own page on Booking.com, Agoda, Trip.com and Expedia so you can compare real rates for your dates.

1. Mandarin Oriental, Taipei

Mandarin Oriental’s Taipei property sits in the leafy, tree-lined Songshan district, deliberately set apart from the density of Xinyi and Zhongshan. The 303 rooms and suites blend traditional Taiwanese craftsmanship with contemporary European elegance, and Diptyque bath amenities in every room are a small but telling sign of the attention to detail throughout. The hotel’s six restaurants and bars include a French fine-dining room and Ya Ge, a refined Cantonese restaurant ranked among the city’s best.

It’s a five-minute drive to Songshan Airport, making it a genuinely convenient choice for shorter business trips, and the spa and outdoor pool give it a resort feel that’s rare this close to the city center. Book Mandarin Oriental, Taipei for the city’s most understated luxury address.

2. Shangri-La Far Eastern, Taipei

Shangri-La’s Far Eastern property has been a Taipei fixture since 1994, and its rooftop pool on the 43rd floor delivers one of the best panoramic Taipei 101 views of any hotel in the city, year-round thanks to the covered, heated setup. The 420 rooms and suites lean classic rather than trendy, with five restaurants spanning Italian, Shanghainese and Japanese cuisine, plus a SOCIÉ Spa signature treatment layering massage, wrap and aromatherapy.

It’s an eight-minute walk to the Xinyi Business District and Taipei 101, close enough to the action without sitting directly inside the noise. Guests consistently praise the comfortable beds and attentive service. Book Shangri-La Far Eastern, Taipei on Expedia.

3. Regent Taipei

Regent Taipei has anchored Zhongshan since 1990, and its rooftop heated pool with city views and eight dining options still make it one of the most complete luxury stays in the city. The 538 soundproofed rooms are a genuine advantage in a busy commercial district, and the attached Regent Galleria shopping gallery puts LV, Chanel and other luxury boutiques a lobby walk away. In a nod to sustainability, the hotel has gone disposable-amenity-free, so bring your own toiletries.

It’s a 10-15 minute walk to Zhongshan MRT Station, and the daily breakfast and lunch buffets with live cooking stations are a genuine highlight guests call out repeatedly. Check rates for Regent Taipei on Agoda.

4. W Taipei

Rising 31 stories directly above Taipei City Hall MRT Station, W Taipei is the only hotel in the city with full Taipei 101 views from guest rooms, and it leans hard into that with a wall-mounted vertical garden and light installations threaded throughout the property. The WET® outdoor pool and AWAY® Spa give it genuine resort energy despite sitting in the middle of Xinyi’s densest retail and nightlife strip, and 405 rooms carry the brand’s signature bold, playful design.

It’s a two-minute walk to City Hall Station and a 10-minute walk to Taipei 101 itself, making it one of the most walkable luxury bases in Xinyi. Book W Taipei for full Taipei 101 views and Xinyi’s best nightlife access.

5. Grand Hyatt Taipei

Grand Hyatt Taipei sits directly adjacent to Taipei 101, with both City Hall MRT Station and the Taipei 101/World Trade Center station under a 10-minute walk away. The 850 guestrooms make it one of the largest luxury hotels in the city, and the outdoor pool, spa and multiple restaurants give it a genuinely resort-scale amenity list for a downtown property. The breakfast buffet consistently earns praise for its range of Western and Asian options.

It’s an established, dependable choice for travelers who want to be able to walk to Taipei 101, the World Trade Center and Xinyi’s malls without a taxi. Book Grand Hyatt Taipei for a classic, well-located Xinyi stay.

6. Palais de Chine Hotel

Palais de Chine sits a three-minute walk from Taipei Main Station, and its English-modern design — curated art, vintage artifacts and rare sculptures throughout the lobby — is a distinctive departure from the glass-and-marble look most Taipei luxury hotels default to. Le Palais, the hotel’s Michelin-awarded Cantonese restaurant, is worth booking even for non-guests, and the 275 rooms come with genuinely spacious interiors and modern furnishings.

Its Datong location puts Taipei Main Station, the bus terminal, and Ningxia Night Market all within easy reach, making it one of the most practical bases for travelers connecting onward by rail or bus. Book Palais de Chine Hotel for a design-forward stay right by Taipei Main Station.

7. Caesar Metro Taipei

Caesar Metro Taipei is the highest-rated hotel on this entire list, and it earns that with a genuinely convenient setup: the tower is co-constructed with Wanhua Railway Station, three minutes’ walk from Longshan Temple MRT Station, and one metro stop from the Ximen shopping district. All 745 rooms come with electronic bidets and free WiFi, and the outdoor pool and fitness gym make it a solid amenity package for the price point.

Longshan Temple, Huaxi Night Market and Bopiliao Old Street are all a five-minute walk away, putting genuine old-Taipei atmosphere right outside the door. Book Caesar Metro Taipei for the city’s top-scoring hotel and best transit connections.

8. Kimpton Da An Taipei- an IHG Hotel

Tucked into a quiet alley just five minutes from Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT Station, Kimpton Da An brings Shanghai design studio Neri&Hu’s work to 129 rooms and suites, each around 32 square meters — genuinely generous by central Taipei standards. The lobby’s Morning Kickstarter and Social Wine Hour are Kimpton signatures done well here, and the rooftop terrace looking over Taipei’s skyline is one of the better low-key hangout spots among this list’s hotels.

There’s no pool, which is the one notable trade-off, but guests consistently highlight the friendly staff, hip interior design and genuinely walkable Da’an location. Book Kimpton Da An Taipei for the city’s most design-forward boutique stay.

9. Humble House Taipei, Curio Collection by Hilton

Humble House sits right in Xinyi, a five-minute walk to both City Hall MRT Station and Taipei 101, and displays more than 600 original contemporary artworks throughout the building — more of a small gallery than a typical hotel lobby. The rooftop pool with direct Taipei 101 views is a genuine standout, and La Farfalla, the on-site Italian restaurant led by Italian chefs, doubles as the breakfast venue and a destination dinner spot in its own right.

Rooms lean smartly laid out rather than sprawling, with in-room bathtubs a recurring highlight in guest reviews. Its proximity to Raohe Street Night Market adds an easy evening option beyond the immediate Xinyi mall scene. Book Humble House Taipei on Expedia for art-filled Xinyi luxury with pool views of Taipei 101.

10. citizenM Taipei North Gate

citizenM brings its tech-forward, compact-but-clever formula to Zhongzheng, overlooking the historic North Gate and a five-to-eight-minute walk from Beimen MRT Station and Taipei Main Station. Every room is controlled via an in-room iPad — lights, air conditioning, blinds and TV — and the ground-floor communal living room and 24/7 bar make it a genuinely sociable place to work or unwind, a departure from the more formal lobbies elsewhere on this list.

Ximending is a 10-minute walk away, putting shopping, street food and nightlife within easy reach without paying for a full-service luxury property. Book citizenM Taipei North Gate for smart, central, tech-forward style at a lower price point.
