Shangri-La Far Eastern, Taipei
Located on the quieter side of Taipei, the Shangri-La Far Eastern is a perfect blend of sophistication and comfort. While it’s not in the city center, it makes up for it with stunning features, impeccable service, and some of the best dining options you’ll find.

STUNNING CITY VIEWS — especially at sunset and sunrise
AMAZING AMENITIES — rooftop pool, full spa menu

My personal experience
Even though we stayed just one night, it was still a magical experience — waking up to panoramic city views, ordering room-service breakfast, and just soaking in the skyline. If I could go back, I'd stay at least two days to fully enjoy everything this hotel has to offer without feeling rushed.

HOSHINOYA Guguan, Taichung
One of my most memorable experiences in Taichung was staying at HOSHINOYA Guguan. My girlfriend and I decided to splurge on a luxurious hot spring resort getaway, and it turned out to be a memory I'll always love to look back on. Tucked into the mountains of Taichung, this place is all about slowing down and enjoying the rejuvenating magic of its natural alkaline hot springs.
Why you’ll love it
NATURAL HOT SPRINGS — pure alkaline water that leaves skin soft and rejuvenated
STUNNING ARCHITECTURE — minimalist design blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings
ENDLESS RELAXATION — public baths to private in-room hot springs, endless ways to unwind
My personal experience
On an impulsive decision, my friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a stay here, and it was worth every penny. My favorite memory? Stargazing after a soak in the public onsen, then retreating to our private hot spring bath in our room to chat the night away.
If you're looking for the perfect mountain escape with world-class service, this is the place for you — just make sure to book early, since this one's usually in high demand.

InterContinental Kaohsiung
If you're wondering what an ultra-luxury stay in Kaohsiung looks like, look no further.
The moment we stepped into the lobby, the elegance made it clear — we were staying at a luxury hotel, emphasis on luxury. This is easily one of our favorite hotels from our recent Taiwan trip: impeccable service, comfort, a great location, and excellent food and drinks. It was one of our first stays at an InterContinental, and we loved it enough that we're already looking forward to staying at others in the chain.
Why you’ll love it
SPACIOUS ROOMS — felt like a luxurious mini studio, with a cloud-like bed and warm, cozy lighting
ELEVATED BATHROOM DESIGN — soaking tub, high-tech toilet, and high-end Byredo amenities plus a Dyson hairdryer
STANDOUT BREAKFAST — an extensive, beautifully presented spread of Western and Asian favorites
My personal experience
Frankly, this stay made me fall even more in love with the IHG brand.
We've stayed in nice hotels before, but nothing quite like this — between the high-class service and thoughtful amenities, it makes you wish you'd booked more than one night, which, yes, was our mistake. You'll leave feeling pampered, restored, and already dreaming of your next visit.

During my visit with my partner, we explored the city I once called home in 2004 to 2005 — Kaohsiung has transformed dramatically with stunning modern architecture and an efficient MRT system over the years. TAi Urban Resort perfectly complements this stunning city, offering high-class amenities like an infinity pool, sophisticated bars, gourmet restaurants, and a library-like ambiance with endless bookshelves.

My personal experience
Our stay was short but sweet — with just one night before heading to Vietnam, I couldn't fully explore all the incredible features this hotel offers. The infinity pool and serene ambiance left me wanting more. Next time we're in Kaohsiung, I hope to stay longer and experience everything this luxury resort has to offer.
