Hotel Eclat, Taipei

No. 370, Section 1, Dunhua South Road, Daan District, 106 Taipei, Taiwan. (show on map)

Hotel Éclat Taipei is a chic, 60-room boutique hotel located in the heart of the fashionable Da-an District. Formerly the site of the Xiaoxihua Hotel, the building was extensively renovated and relaunched in 2009 to become the sophisticated, art-focused destination it is today. It stands out for its avant-garde design, which masterfully blends modern luxury with an impressive private collection of contemporary art, featuring works by renowned masters like Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol.

The guest experience is defined by high-end, thoughtful details. Each room is equipped with premium tech, including Bang & Olufsen audio systems and Dyson hair dryers, alongside luxury touches like Montblanc stationery. For a quirky and personalized touch, the hotel even offers a unique service where guests can rent a small “Lohas” fish tank to keep in their room for a bit of calm.

Dining at the property is a social affair, with the Éclat Lounge serving up Mediterranean and Taiwanese fusion, and the sophisticated George Bar offering an excellent selection of single malt whiskies. The hotel is also well-known for its daily happy hour, providing a welcoming space for guests to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

Its prime location on the tree-lined Dunhua South Road puts you within easy reach of the city’s major attractions. You are just a short trip from the iconic Taipei 101 tower, the sprawling Daan Forest Park, and the cultural landmarks like the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. Whether you are browsing nearby boutiques or heading to the city’s famous night markets, the hotel serves as an elegant, quiet sanctuary in a bustling urban landscape.

Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“It’s pricey, but the Hotel Eclat has an élan that no other hotel in Taipei can match. The lobby is adorned with museum-quality-yet-whimsical pieces of art (including a Salvador Dali sculpture). The two on-site restaurants (they provide room service) are genuinely gourmet.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Taipei.

Does not live up to the 'Small Luxury Hotel' name

The hotel has a fair price point and a decent location. It’s close to local attractions, but not quite walkable, so expect to take a taxi. While the value is okay, the 'ghostly' atmosphere and slow elevators made for a frustrating experience.

The hotel's interior design feels overly dim and lacks warmth, leaning more toward 'eerie' than 'atmospheric.' Functional issues added to the frustration: the elevators are slow and unresponsive, and the heavy room doors are surprisingly difficult to operate. Dining was equally disappointing, with a monotonous and overpriced breakfast. Service at the front desk was inconsistent, ranging from lukewarm to outright cold.

Hotel is really old and aircon and light switch were not working. Would not recommend.

Location was walkable to a lot of places

Hotel was really old, light switch and aircon switch were not working properly. We couldn’t switch off the lights in the room. Phone was not working as well, aircon keep having a clicking sound and we couldn’t rest properly.

Lovely Boutique Hotel

The staff were excellent and hugely helpful. The room and the wider property were clean and well maintained, the location is excellent for exploring Hanoi.

Our bathroom needed a bit of a revisit. It looked a little tired compared with other rooms we saw, and when we showered, the water went everywhere. We were only there for one night but if it had been for longer I would have requested a change.

Check other options 😂

Hello, hotel is situated in a nice area and MRT is nearby.
On the first night, it was rainy outside and the water comes thru the ceiling into my room (and not just a few drops).
Overall the hotel doesn’t appear to be like 5 star hotel, maybe a few years ago. Level of maintenance must be increased. The breakfast is far away of being 5 star 😂.
Next time, I will take another hotel.

Much better options in Taipei

The bed was very comfortable. The room was decent size - not sure a view of the building across the street qualifies as city view.

The staff was not helpful at all. I asked for a number of things and at one point felt like o was being told off. The hotel is definitely not the usual SLH caliber. Also, the lobby and hallways smell like a Chinese restaurant.

Good value for money. Definitely not luxurious.

Great location. OK room. Staff nice.

The room needed some work. Towel hook fell off. Shower dripped. Weird outdated sound system with incoherent instructions. We asked for room cleaning one day and didn’t receive.

Didn’t have breakfast and otherwise ok stay

WiFi is awful or literally none. It also blocks your reception using your own network which is ridiculous. Once you step out of the hotel, everything is back to normal. Sorry to say but what 4/5 hotel don’t provide WiFi nowadays?! Staff said it’s because hotel is full. That’s not an excuse am afraid.

Location is perfect for me.

The bathroom shower faucet is old and water not strong. Limited space to put personal things, the room renovation is too old style.

Hotel hall way with dehumidifier and dark. Bathroom bit old style. And front door staff to be more initiative in helping door opening and concierge services.

A comfortable hotel in a great neighborhood!

I liked the location which was between two Metro stations within walking distance. Also there are many restaurants and cafes in the surrounding area as well. The room toilet is a Toto washlet!!!

Not much. The art collection in the lobby is a bit dubious but I can ignore it.

Nothing exceptional except for a good location

The location was great and the staff are generally friendly and helpful.

I stayed in the hotel for 3 nights, headed somewhere else, then returned for another 2 nights. I stayed in room 807 in the first leg and 607 in the second leg. 807 had instructions in Chinese but seemed like a newer room, e.g. the toilet seat was heated, the table lamp was functioning. Room 607 had instructions in English but was more run down. The toilet seat was not heated, it flushes on its own, the lights flickered and the table lamp was “limp” and I couldn’t adjust it to light my face properly. The Aircon’s temperature was impossible to be adjusted for both rooms and I would have liked to have a more heated room.

Prime location boutique hotel

Welcoming staff, wonderful amenities. Bed was super comfortable.

The fancy light switches took me a while to figure out late in the evening. By morning I was able to figure it out.

A unique boutique hotel with helpful staff and great artwork that gave hotel a creative but classy and elegant feel

Great location. Intimate boutique hotel with unique ambience. Over the top artwork, which I thought was unique and entertaining.

Some parts of the room were old, like dirt stains or moulds in the shower ceiling. I also saw one very very small cockroach in the bathroom. Also the wiring of the screen in the bathroom was repaired with gummy paste and not a proper repair. Room 507.

Overall an excellent hotel to stay enhanced by quality of staff support.

Breakfast was ok but could have a little more variety over a few days

Bar closed at 6:30 pm - could perhaps stay open until at least 7:30 pm!
