5 new hotels that are setting Taipei's skyline alight
Three international hotel brands have welcomed guests in Taiwan’s capital since July, with Kimpton and Double Tree set to follow by the end of the year
Once shunned by global hotel groups, Taiwan has seen international hotels returning in recent years. In the Taipei metropolitan area, three international-branded hotels have opened since July, and two more are expected to open by end of this year.
These hotels include Four Points by Sheraton and Renaissance both under Marriott International; Hilton, which has returned after an absence of 15 years with two properties; and IHG’s first hotel under the luxury Kimpton brand.
In July, Four Points by Sheraton Linkou had a soft opening in New Taipei City north of Taipei city.
The hotel is located in the Linkou district near the metro station, with easy access to the Taiyuan International Airport and Taipei’s city centre.
Four Points’ 165 guest rooms are equipped with new technologies. There is also a presidential suite measuring 661 square metres (7,100 square feet).
The China Spice Restaurant at the hotel, serves traditional Shanghai and Hangzhou cuisines, while The Eatery offers à-la-carte dishes. Guests can also enjoy the Four Points’ signature brews and local craft beers at the Lounge.
Four Points also offers 510 square metres of flexible event space with six function rooms offering advanced audiovisual technology.
