Taiwan's first VR hotel lets you "step into" Taipei Marriott — incredibly realistic

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team | Compiled and Reported

Taipei Marriott Hotel has integrated the latest VR (virtual reality) trend to offer a "bilingual guided tour for banquets." No matter where you are, whether it's midnight or early morning, just pick up your phone or sit at your computer, and you can "step into" the Marriott Ballroom — the pride of Taipei Marriott and the largest pillar-free ballroom among all-star hotels in Taiwan. You can also experience the ultra-dreamy "Garden Villa," which combines "an elegant ceremonial hall, an outdoor sky garden, and a top-tier wedding banquet" all in one. With your smartphone’s VR function, you can enjoy a 720-degree panoramic view of the venue.

Everyone knows the venues that host state banquets, but not everyone gets the chance to experience them firsthand. Open the VR and walk through the metal-designed arched corridor woven with black tones and bronze brushstrokes, and you’ll be greeted by the elegant Marriott Ballroom, featuring extensive use of glass and warm wooden paneling, with no pillars in its 9.9-meter-high space. Look up, and you’ll see a trio of crystal chandeliers hanging from the ten-meter-high ceiling, adding more depth and layers to the 1,260-square-meter grand ballroom. Stroll gracefully across the custom Britton carpet, and take in the warm wood-toned design of the grand ballroom, transforming the initially metallic grandeur into a more heartwarming atmosphere.

As the most sought-after wedding venue at Taipei Marriott, the Garden Villa fulfills a bride’s three dreams: a grand ceremonial hall, an outdoor sky garden party, and an elegant indoor wedding banquet. Now, couples not even in Taipei — or even Taiwan — can conduct a quick venue scout via VR. Inside the Garden Villa ballroom, the champagne-colored mirrored ceiling and interwoven lighting fixtures highlight a luxurious ambiance. Facing the ballroom is the sky garden, where lush green lawns stretch out under the sunlight like a classic estate. At the other end of the lawn stands a small chapel full of greenery, inspiring every couple to vow their love.
