Hotel Proverbs, Taipei

No. 56, Section 1, Daan Road, Daan District, 106 Taipei, Taiwan. (show on map)

Hotel Proverbs Taipei is a sophisticated boutique hotel in the city’s vibrant Eastern District. Designed by renowned architect Ray Chen, the property is inspired by Francisco Goya’s Los Proverbios etchings. This artistic influence manifests in a moody, opulent interior featuring hand-embossed iron plates from European castles, crystal chandeliers, and rich red velvet accents that blend classical elegance with contemporary flair.

The hotel is full of unique, tactile details. For instance, the corridor walls are crafted from a special metal that develops a patina from guests’ touch over time, while the back of each room door is finished in velvet, allowing you to leave your own mark. In select rooms, you might even discover a hidden proverb revealed only by the shifting light of the evening.

Dining is a major highlight, with the onsite TK Seafood & Steak being a popular draw for locals, known for its high-quality aged meats. The hotel’s bar, EAST END, offers a chic, dark setting perfect for enjoying handcrafted cocktails, making the property feel like a private, elevated sanctuary amidst the urban rush.

Location-wise, you are perfectly placed for exploration. Just a short walk from the Zhongxiao Fuxing metro station, you can easily reach major landmarks like the iconic Taipei 101, the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, and the bustling shopping areas of the Da’an District. It serves as a stylish, tranquil base for travelers looking to balance high-end luxury with the creative pulse of Taipei.

Expert reviews

Telegraph review:

“This high-concept design hotel mixes a multitude of materials into a polished, steampunk-like hideout, towering above Taipei’s Eastern District like a black monolith. Comfortable rooms and attentive staff make this a great base.”

Lonely Planet review:

“This plush hotel in the trendy part of the city is the creation of local designer Ray Chen. Every possible surface is covered in something – be it mirrors, copper or wood – in a mishmash of ornateness. Bathrooms are separated from bedrooms by a curtain.”

Good location, cool hotel, but the setup is a bit weird. Not right for everyone.

The vibe is cool. the rooms are large. the location is good.

First, no lobby! we learned at checkout about something on the 3rd floor. Is that a lobby? No one mentioned anything to us at checkin. There is literally not a single chair in the lobby. Second, one of our rooms had the bathroom when you first enter, as in, you enter through the bathroom. That is totally unacceptable if you and your partner or family member come in and out at different times. How do you ever know it's safe to come into the room? I would honestly never book again unless I was absolutely sure I had the other kind of room where the bathroom is set of (at least by a curtain, which is barely acceptable).

Max 3.5 stars only, not 5 stars.

Room design layout poor. E.g. chandelier hang too low at shoulder level! Glass partition and door not so obvious cause bumping, shower faucets and pipes setup imitate old fashion, not effective. A lot of superfluous things, lighting power switches unclear…….

Great hotel, very boutique. Quiet surprise that the room is as spacious as it is. Has bath tub. I booked proverbs becaus

The location is very strategic, in the hustle bustle but peaceful inside

Lobby could be bigger or welcoming but this is very minor feedback

Friendly, comfortable hotel

Good location, close to metro so easy to get around. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

The outside grill, architectural ‘feature’ impedes the view.
I found the room cold and no one seems able to adjust the room temperature. They gave ma a heater, which i appreciated.

Nice place to pamper yourself in Taipei

The location of the hotel is wonderful and it is surrounded by great food options. The hotel has a great design and it was a pleasure to stay here. Each evening we enjoyed the happy hour at the hotel bar, which had very nice cocktails. The minibar is well-stocked, with a coffee machine, a selection of teas and snacks. The staff is very helpful and it a pleasure to stay here.

The hotel has not many facilities. In the winter months, the pool cannot be used, and the hotel does not have a gym.
