Best Luxury Hotels in Taiwan

This Asian island country is found off the coast of southern mainland China, not far from Hong Kong’s border. It may be small but it is big on offering; from city vibes to country adventures. The glittering skyline of the capital, Taipei, showcases innovative architecture (think Taipei 101 skyscraper), is home to a mouth-watering foodie scene (with street-market delights and fine dining restaurants as popular, and as delicious, as each other) whilst the breathtaking scenery at Sun Moon Lake, in the foothills of Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range, is a must-see. And for outdoor adventurers, the many (nine at the time of writing) National Parks, are just waiting to be explored, from the mountainous terrain and impressive gorges to the white-sand beaches, caves, and coral reefs found on the southern tip of the island. The hotel scene is just as diverse as the landscape in terms of choice although one thing is certain, visitors will be presented with style and first-class facilities in Taiwans’ luxury hotels – read on to discover some of our favourites.
