Best Luxury Hotels in Xinyi District

Popular with celebrities and visiting dignitaries, the Grand Hyatt Taipei can be found next to the Taipei World Trade Centre. Although the hotel is nearly thirty years old it has received a sleek facelift and perfectly mirrors the contemporary business-like style of the buildings that surround it. Boasting more than 800 rooms this is the largest hotel in the whole of Taipei and everything is represented on a grand scale including the enormous lobby with its three storeys, large balconies and dripping chandeliers. Each guest room comes complete with a decadent marble bathroom with large bathtubs and plenty of space for business travellers to catch up on a little work in between working up a sweat in the fitness centre and relaxing in the on site spa.

Ideal for business travellers who are looking for a convenient place to stay that boasts plenty of creature comforts, W Taipei features plenty of vibrant touches from the disco lighting in the lobby to the conceptual artwork that adorns the walls. Each of the 405 guest rooms have been designed to impress and boast a light colour scheme with huge picture windows to let in the view of the massive skyscrapers of the surrounding business district. Guests are invited to make full use of the AWAY spa that can be found on the twelfth floor, while the swimming pool on the tenth floor is surrounded by sun loungers and is often the setting for pool parties.

Set at the top of a modern shopping mall in the cosmopolitan Xinyi district, Humble House features style and classy décor that makes full use of artwork created by contemporary Taiwanese artists. There are 235 rooms for guests to choose from and what they lack in terms of size, they more than make up for in style and amenities. Business travellers will love the desks that face the picture windows and provide uninterrupted city views, while the bathrooms feature Japanese-style bathtubs. One of the hotel’s most impressive features is the rooftop swimming pool, which allows guests to keep cool while they gaze at the iconic Taipei 101 tower. The swimming pool is surrounded by a pretty park, which is large enough for those who wish to go jogging or practice yoga, while the on site restaurant serves an excellent range of classic Italian dishes and offers al fresco dining on the adjoining terrace.
