Taipei

Taipei's most opulent address on Dunhua North Road — marble bathrooms, a vast spa and European grandeur with Taiwanese warmth.

Vivid design tower directly above Xinyi's MRT and malls — an outdoor pool deck with Taipei 101 views and the city's liveliest hotel bar.

Vast full-service classic right beside Taipei 101 — big rooms, an outdoor pool and the New Year's fireworks practically overhead.

Intimate boutique hidden in Da'an's café lanes — warm interiors, social evening wine hours and Yongkang Street's food a stroll away.

Japanese-run precision in leafy Zhongshan — impeccable rooms, an excellent breakfast and direct underground access to the MRT.

The Dutch smart-hotel formula beside the historic North Gate — XL beds, tablet-controlled rooms and Ximending plus the airport MRT in walking distance.

Creative eco-minded hotel above the pedestrian streets — recycled-material design, a good café and Ximending's buzz right below.

Reliable mid-ranger from a trusted Taiwanese chain — compact, cheerful rooms in the middle of the pedestrian quarter's action.

One of Asia's best-loved hostels — a plant-filled wooden loft lounge, spotless dorms and privates, minutes from Taipei Main Station.

Sociable design hostel in the heart of Ximending — rooftop hangouts, clean pod-style dorms and night-market food in every direction.

Zhongshan's stately classic with a luxury shopping arcade below — generous rooms, a rooftop pool and decades of polished hospitality.
