The highly anticipated Mandarin film *Love Off the Cuff* topped 550 million in box office revenue across Greater China within just one week of its release, instantly boosting search interest in Taipei travel. One of the film’s most pivotal plot-twist scenes was shot at the Taipei Marriott Hotel. The hotel has unveiled the luxurious room featuring views of the Miramar Ferris Wheel used in the filming, and has also launched the “Love Off the Cuff Dream Stay” package, inviting movie fans from around the world to help fulfill the unrealized Taipei adventures of Ching (played by Miriam Yeung) and Jim (played by Shawn Yue)!

In the film, when the couple stays at the Taipei Marriott Hotel, Ching can’t hide her delight upon hearing the front desk staff address her as “Mrs. Cheung.” The hotel’s grand, 9.9-meter-high lobby — sleek yet understatedly luxurious — features white arches that create depth and perspective, along with stunning murals that enrich the visual texture, perfectly complementing the film’s needs.

The couple specifically chose the “Premium Luxury Suite with Ferris Wheel View.” The suite is decorated in warm earth tones with a minimalist, stylish design. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer easy views of the illuminated Miramar Ferris Wheel at night, as well as distant tree-covered hills and the expansive Taipei cityscape, naturally filling the air with a romantic ambiance.

Two key factors made this Taipei hotel scene ideal for the working couple in the film: a spacious yet tasteful lobby, high-quality room decor, and proximity to the Ferris Wheel. Moreover, instead of the conventional Taipei 101, the filmmakers chose the Miramar Ferris Wheel to represent Taipei, solidifying the Taipei Marriott Hotel’s status as home to one of the city’s most beautiful night views. Through *Love Off the Cuff*, the hope is not only to attract more international productions to shoot in Dazhi but also to boost foreign tourism to Taiwan.

To give fans of Ching and Jim around the world the chance to experience the romance of a night under the Ferris Wheel lights, the Taipei Marriott Hotel has created the “Love Off the Cuff Dream Stay” package. Guests can stay in a homelike room with Ferris Wheel views, enjoy a free ride on the Ferris Wheel, and even upgrade to ride the “Taipei Double-Decker Sightseeing Bus” to tour famous sites such as Taipei 101, the National Palace Museum, Ximending, Yongkang Street, and Da’an Forest Park — helping Ching and Jim finally enjoy all the sights they missed in the film. Additionally, guests who check in on Sundays will be automatically upgraded to the actual movie-filming “Premium Luxury Suite,” making their celebrity dreams come true while also saving money.
