Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Da'an
Hotel Proverbs is Taipei's most celebrated boutique hotel — 38 rooms dressed in marble and aged wood, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Raw next door, and a design ethos that has earned it coverage in every major architecture and interiors publication since opening in 2017.
Xinyi
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.
Zhongshan
The Mandarin Oriental's 2014 Taipei flagship occupies a striking 25-storey tower designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox — its Bencotto Italian restaurant and Ya Ge Cantonese restaurant share two Michelin stars, the spa is the city's finest, and the design throughout is impeccably considered.
Songshan
amba Songshan occupies a converted warehouse in the Xinyi-Songshan creative district — its industrial-chic aesthetic, outstanding cocktail bar, excellent breakfast, and walk-everywhere location near Taipei City Hall make it a local favourite at prices that are hard to argue with.
Zhongshan
The Okura brings Tokyo's legendary hospitality tradition to Taipei — meticulous room design, a 57th-floor pool with panoramic views, and Yamazato Japanese restaurant (one Michelin star) combine with characteristically precise Japanese service to create an experience of restrained, exquisite luxury.
Zhongshan
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.
