"This hotel alone is reason enough to consider booking a flight with a layover in Taipei and spending a night in the city. I’ve stayed at many 5*hotels, and the service here truly stands out. The breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had at a hotel. The property is beautifully maintained and has a wonderful atmosphere. The thoughtfully decorated interiors live up to the hotel’s name, and at times I felt as though I’d stepped into a Chinese palace from the time of Queen Victoria. Taipei Main Station is right nearby, which makes getting around on a layover easy and was an added bonus for me. I honestly can’t think of a single downside. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it!"
