Luxury Classical Style
 

%? Taipei Marriott Hotel (Taipei)
Standing majestically along the Dazhi Riverbank, its two domes create beautifully graceful curves against the skyline. Upon entering the hotel, guests are immediately drawn to its neoclassical design style—bold 16-meter-high Roman columns dominate the space, complemented by massive crystal chandeliers and motifs of peonies symbolizing wealth and prosperity, exuding an extraordinary blend of Eastern and Western elegance.

Local Literary & Artistic Style: Cheng Yi Cultural Tourism
 
%? Tamsui Chill (Taipei)
Tamsui Chill is like a small modern art center, with installations and cultural creative artworks displayed throughout the lobby and various floors. Each of the 12 floors has a different theme, making the whole space feel like a giant photography studio that is sure to satisfy any traveler’s passion for aesthetics.

%? Taichung Birdy Days (Taichung)
Using the flight of birds as a metaphor for travel, and the hotel as a resting nest for birds, “Let our days pass bird by bird, and travel leisurely” is the philosophy of Taichung Birdy Days. In addition to the building itself being an artistic highlight, the hotel pioneered the “Ask the Passerby” mechanism and publishes the “Ask the Passerby Express,” providing guests with the latest information on Taichung’s local culture, food, drinks, and entertainment.

%? Taichung Tea Story (Chiayi)
“In the homeland of tea, we nurture a tea-themed hotel, offering travelers a carefree paradise.” Taiwan’s first “tea-themed” hotel was born out of this concept. Its exterior resembles white blocks stacked interactively, and its super Insta-worthy rooftop infinity pool is a huge hit among guests, offering easy views over the cityscape and attracting many visitors. The evening poolside bar adds a relaxed, romantic charm to the vacation atmosphere.
