Character and identity
Taipei's tallest hotel rises in glass and stone above Daan, the city's business and shopping district, and a recent $50 million renovation has layered contemporary polish over the 1994 original. Song Dynasty references run through the public spaces: era-inspired sculpture, commissioned paintings, and Shen Cheen's twin silk scrolls hanging above the lobby check-in. Floors follow a figure-8 plan for added privacy. Six restaurants, the Marco Polo lounge with Taipei 101 views, a Lobby Court pouring afternoon tea and 30-plus gins after dark, two outdoor pools (one on the 43rd floor), and the Qi Shiseido Salon and Spa on the 40th floor define daily life here.
Who's it for
Best for:
Business travellers who want to be inside Daan's commercial core, plus design-curious leisure guests drawn to the Song Dynasty styling, rooftop pool, and serious spa and wellness floor. Couples after high-altitude city views and a gin-led bar scene will be well looked after, as will shoppers walking to Tonghua night market in ten minutes.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone seeking a boutique scale, a buzzy boho neighbourhood like Ximending or Zhongshan, or the more residential feel of Taipei's newer luxury entrants. Families wanting dedicated kids' programming and pure-leisure travellers indifferent to a business-district address won't get the most from it.
Bottom line
The draw here is vertical Taipei: the tallest hotel address, twin pools, a 40th-floor spa, and Taipei 101 framed from the Marco Polo lounge, wrapped in a refreshed Song Dynasty design language. Book if you want altitude, wellness, and Daan on your doorstep. Splurge on a high-floor room facing Taipei 101, and time visits around shoulder-season rates when corporate demand softens.
