Les Meilleurs Hôtels à Taipei

W Taipei's 31-floor tower dominates the Xinyi skyline in suitably extravagant fashion — the WOOBAR rooftop bar is a Taipei institution, the WET pool deck is spectacular at sunset, and the rooms bring W's signature maximalist aesthetic to one of Asia's most dynamic city panoramas.

A Zhongshan landmark for three decades, the Regent remains one of Taipei's most beloved luxury addresses — Crystal Club afternoon tea is an institution, the shopping arcade below is one of the city's finest, and the service culture is warm in a way that the newer international flagships haven't yet matched.

S Hotel blends understated Taiwanese craft with contemporary hotel design — its sky garden, rooftop bar, and easy Zhongshan North Road location at Minsheng East Road make it a thoughtful choice for design-minded travellers who find the Xinyi flagships a little overwrought.
