Regent, Taipei
More photosRegent Taipei has been a landmark of luxury since it opened in 1990 in the city’s fashionable Zhongshan District. Designed by Chhada Siembieda and Associates, the hotel’s lobby features a stunning Art Deco aesthetic with black marble floors and an expansive atrium, blending Eastern warmth with Western elegance. It remains a premier choice for both business and leisure travelers seeking a refined, central base.
A standout feature is the Regent Galleria, an impressive two-level shopping arcade located within the hotel’s basement. It is the largest upscale shopping destination inside a five-star hotel in Taiwan, housing elite brands like Chanel, Hermès, and Louis Vuitton. Beyond retail, the hotel is a true dining hub, famously offering award-winning beef noodles at its azie restaurant, alongside high-end teppanyaki and Cantonese fine dining.
The hotel’s facilities are designed for ultimate relaxation, highlighted by a heated rooftop swimming pool and the 20th-floor Wellspring Spa, which offers panoramic city views. Guests in Tai Pan Club rooms enjoy an even more exclusive experience, featuring 24-hour butler service and a private lounge that feels like a sophisticated residence.
Its location in the leafy Zhongshan district puts you within walking distance of vibrant cultural spots. You can easily explore the historic Dihua Street market, browse the famous Eslite Bookstore, or enjoy contemporary art at the Taipei City Fine Art Museum. With the nearby MRT stations, the rest of Taipei’s iconic landmarks, such as the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, are just a short ride away.
Expert reviews
“With more than 500 guest room, the towering Regent might feel a little like a city-within-a-city, but the service is as swanky as the rooftop swimming pool (heated year-round, and with killer views across the city, making it the perfect place to unwind after a hard day’s sightseeing).”
“Regent Taipei has been a stalwart address for both well-heeled leisure and business travelers since it opened in 1990. Although it is centrally located near shopping, museums and entertainment venues, the hotel is a bit of a draw itself — it houses the boutique-laden Regent Galleria shopping center, seven restaurants, a luxe spa and a rooftop pool.”

Good but not great
Spacious room. Good location near malls, restaurants, bars.
Gym only accessible via a separate lift across the lobby. The gym is in the basement and quite dated. The lift which also also leads to different floors of the mall stops at several floors and is quite slow.
Swimming pool on rooftop is nice but lacks a bar for refreshments.

Hassle free stay
Staff are helpful and courteous. Excellent shopping and F&B outlets. Happy to find Pierre Herme macarons in the basement. Convenient location.
Room is very old, probably hasn’t been renovated for a long time

Pity the hotel look to have a nice base, but our room are not renovated
The receptionist doesn’t explain anything, we don’t know where to access the room and we don’t know where the breakfast or facilities are. The Breakfast is in a big hall nobody care of you, buffet with different queue, the food is not match the style of the hotel

One of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The spa is incredible. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. And the
Everything. The location, the facilities, the staff, the breakfast, the spa. It’s a very lively place in the middle of everything with people coming and going everywhere. It felt like I was staying in a palace.
Nothing. It was perfect.

An elegant hotel with exceptional and professional service. Treated like royalty. Thank you.
The room was beautiful, and the extra amenities of bottled water was appreciated after a long flight. The location is great for shopping and finding what the locals like to eat. We tried the lunch buffet and was amazed at the selection and the quality of the food. if we had stayed longer which we will in the future we will definitely try some other amenities that the hotel has to offer.
We did not find any faults or dislikes of the hotel.

Excellent except for gym
Great facilities for dining. Staff were great.
gym was small and over crowded. No floor area for exercise
3 January 2024
Decent but for the price may look at alternatives next time.
Location is great, very central to shopping, sites and restaurants
The hotel is definitely showing its age, very dark hallways and beds are not that comfortable. Service was also inconsistent with some of the hotel staff being friendly to some being completely ignorant.

Pleasant experience overall.
We booked a King Deluxe room, which is spacious and the toilet is clean.
Surprisingly our room had a spectacular view of Taipei 101 with fireworks at midnight in New Year.
Good location with lots of shops and restaurants nearby.
Staffs were polite and helpful.
Mosquitoes were found at the changing room next to the swimming pool. Also the changing room is small and old. Renovation should be seriously considered.

Great except for the downstairs fitness centre & sauna, where we were handed information without assistance.
Staff, good & accommodation.
Location of the fitness centre. Very difficult& no assistance when attending fitness facility. Treated like a nobody at the fitness centre. Thought we would get some sort of priority.

The staff and service are great, I have a pleasant trip every time I stay at The Taipei Regent.
I used to visit Taiwan 2-3 times a year, usually stay at Taipei Regent because of the lavish breakfast! Moreover, the rooms are very spacious and location is very good.
The lift lobby and floor corridors are a bit dim, the marbles of bath room are aging, need to do something to revitalise the marbles.

A calm oasis in the middle of a bustling city
The hallways and rooms were calm and soothing. The bathroom was spa like. The Christmas decorations were cheerful. The staff was helpful and welcoming.

A room with a view
Like the size of the room and since we upgraded we had a corner room at the 17.th floor so the view was magnificent. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff
The aircon made our room either freezing cold or greenhouse warm. Some how we always to turn on the sign we didn't want cleaning so we didn't get our room clean for days - should be another option that a lightswitch for that

Other Taipei hotels
Kimpton Da An, Taipei
Kimpton Da An Taipei, which opened in 2019 as the brand's first Asian location, is a sophisticated urban sanctuary tucked away in a quiet alley of the bustling Da’an District. Originally built as a luxury residential mansion, the building was ingeniously transformed by the Shanghai-based design studio Neri & Hu. They crafted an interior that acts as a retreat, using elements like white tiles, warm wooden millwork, and brass accents to reflect the textures of Taipei’s surrounding urban landscape.
New York Times + 1 more“Kimpton Da’an is a stylish and centrally located boutique hotel on a hushed residential street right next to a metro stop. It has one of the best Western-style breakfast options in town, and is within easy walking distance to many major attractions.”

Palais de Chine Hotel, Taipei
The Palais de Chine Hotel in Taipei is a striking fusion of European aristocratic elegance and Eastern philosophy. Opened in 2010 and designed by renowned architect Ray Chen, the hotel is often described as the city's first "cultural hotel." Stepping into its dimly lit, moody interiors feels less like a traditional hotel and more like entering a curated museum, filled with antique collections and art pieces from around the world.
Telegraph“In a city where hi-design and minimalism are all the rage, Palais de Chine takes a boldly different approach, resulting in a mishmash of French furniture and Chinese antiques. Even if the over-the-top design isn’t your thing, top-notch service and a Michelin-starred restaurant will ensure a pleasant stay.”
Dandy Hotel Tianjin, Taipei
The Dandy Hotel Tianjin Branch is a charming boutique property located in Taipei’s Zhongshan District. The building itself has a rich history; it was formerly the famous Prince Hotel, a landmark that once hosted high-ranking officials and celebrities. After half a century, the Taipei Inn Group transformed the space into this contemporary hotel, earning the prestigious City Makeup Gold Award from the Taipei Municipal Government for its successful redesign.
Lonely Planet“The fresh and colourful Dandy offers funkily decorated and spacious rooms – if you’re lucky you’ll get the one with bowler-hat lampshades – and thick pile carpets. Some rooms have Jacuzzi bathtubs and little Parisian balconies.”
Villa 32, Taipei
Villa 32 is a secluded, ultra-exclusive sanctuary hidden away in the misty geothermal valley of Beitou, just north of Taipei’s city center. As the first establishment in Taiwan to receive Relais & Châteaux certification, it focuses on high-end privacy with only five exquisitely appointed suites. Designed by Ming-Hong Chiu, the architecture masterfully integrates water, wood, and stone to create a Zen-inspired retreat that feels worlds away from the urban bustle.
New York Times + 2 more“Villa 32, perched on Taipei’s far northern outskirts, is a luxurious resort with therapeutic geothermal baths and lush greenery. It’s a 30-minute drive from the city center. Five suites have hot spring waters piped directly into the rooms.”

It was a nice short day for me and my wife for the three days we were there. The room was comfortable except for the bed
