A memory of Old China
There is nothing more iconic in Taipei than the Grand Hotel. Just looking up Chung Shan North Road brings back memories of yesteryear, when slender ladies in chi paos graced the Grand Hotel's lobby. Many overseas visitors take the chance to soak up some of the atmosphere of Old China by staying in the Hotel. By the way, the Grand Hotel is famous for its restaurants. -

Like Staying In A Beautiful Museum
The lobby of the Grand Hotel Taipei is so outrageously majestic you feel you're walking on to a filmset where the Emperor is arriving shortly along with his 200 courtiers. The rooms are nice, too without being stand outs. We had a terrace without chairs, probably because chairs would ruin the illusiuon of grandeur. The morning buffet was great but two days were enough at this memorable hotel since we prefer places that are more quiet and serene. -

Luxurious and historical
My fiancé and I stayed at the grand hotel in Taipei for our engagement and we absolutely loved it. The service was top notch and the building itself was beautiful. We felt like the emperor and empress of a Chinese Dynasty. We had a beautiful mountain view from our balcony and enjoyed waking up to it every morning. -

Simply 'Grand'
The Grand Hotel, is well, grand. After visiting the weekend farmers market at Taipei Expo Park, I walked over to some bus stops and waited for a free shuttle bus up to the Grand Hotel. It came right away. In minutes, we were up at the hotel, high on a hill with a panoramic view of city below. I didn't stay at this hotel; it was just a tourist visit. The orchid centre piece inside the lobby was spectacular - everyone took pictures of it. The restaurant was full of customers having a late lunch set. Later as I came back down the stairs, I saw that everyone was having a penne pasta course in some tomato based sauce. Up the grand staircase covered in dense, red wool carpeting, you could walk around the perimeter on the second floor, and look down into to the lobby area. The hotel was started in 1952 and completed in 1973 with many additions. Presidential suite costs about $5000US but other rooms are affordable at about $100US per night. President Chiang Kai-Shek built this hotel out of need for a five star hotel for ambassadors and foreign dignitaries to stay, in this city. Many negotiations between countries have been facilitated at this hotel. There is a wall of photographs of famous people who have stayed here: Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Mandela, Thatcher, Aquino, even movie stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Charles Bronson. There are 490 rooms over 8 levels – 8 being an Asian number of luck. There are auditoriums, meeting rooms, a number of restaurants, a fitness centre, sauna, swimming pool. There are gift shops on all floors, with a lovely gold dragon water fountain on second floor. The free shuttle bus every half an hour takes you back down to the bus stops and metro station so you can find your way home. -

Grand is an understatement.
“Grand” is not colossal enough to describe this hotel. Its monumental exterior Chinese Palace design is outpaced by the majestic interior presentations, together with an awe inspiring views to the basin of Taipei, this hotel is without a doubt THE BEST Chinese Palace style hotel experience in Taiwan, if not one of the best in the greater China region. I stayed in room 608 for a night on May 2, 2020. The room interior definitely gives you a feeling of time travel. A good mix of Forbidden Palace style furnitures with modern marble bathroom and toiletry designs, though may lack the high end feel of the amenities, or the poshness of the designs and decorations, but the room is super functional and spacious. With almost 46sqm of space and an unusually sizable balcony, there is more space than you need to make creative uses of them. If you expect this hotel to have experiences similar to the modern posh hotel names like Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons, or even the W, then please look away. However if you are looking for a very unique, very Chinese, very Asian hotel experience, this hotel really cannot be missed. Hotel guests can also access the hotel club for free, which will give you access to the olympic class swimming pool and gym. The club membership usually costs more than 10,000 US dollars to join for local residents. So, please be sure to make full use of this amazing facility! Another must do activity during your stay at the Grand Hotel is the hotel guided tour, in which you will learn the history of the hotel, the unique designs in every corner of the building, and exclusive access to the underground secret tunnel used by the president in the old times to evade from emergencies.
