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.
The hotel is celebrated for its intimate, minimalist design and thoughtful details that ground it in local culture. Guests might find a playful “Datong electric pot” in their room—a nod to a classic Taiwanese household staple—alongside clever sliding wooden panels that provide privacy and quiet. The property also features *The Tavernist*, a top-floor restaurant helmed by British chef James Sharman, which has become a culinary destination in its own right for its creative use of local Taiwanese ingredients.
Beyond the hotel, guests are perfectly positioned to explore Taipei’s vibrant culture. You are just a short walk from boutique shops, art galleries, and the MRT station. For major sightseeing, the iconic Taipei 101 tower and the historic Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall are easily accessible, offering a perfect mix of modern skyscraper views and traditional cultural landmarks.
Whether you are enjoying the complimentary daily “Social Hour” in the lobby or taking in the city skyline from the rooftop terrace, Kimpton Da An offers a refined, peaceful base for any Taipei adventure.
Expert reviews
“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.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Taipei.
“As Kimpton’s first foray into Asia, this sleek boutique hotel occupies a former apartment complex smack in the middle of Taipei’s buzzy Da’an district. What it lacks in facilities (there is no spa, and no pool), it makes up for with brilliant service, good looks, and a restaurant that’s a destination in its own right.”

We really enjoyed our stay and couldn’t believe the high level service we received.
The staff went out of their way to make us feel at home and provide the highest level of service. The room was large, very comfortable, clean, and the rest of the facilities were relaxing and top notch.
I don’t have any negative feedback, it was exceptional.

Loved it, looking forward to coming back.
Overall was a great experience. Taiwan is not the easiest place to have celiac disease as dietary restrictions aren't as widely known, but the team took care of my allergies really well. I was able to have safe meals there and they gave great local eating recommendations.
The room was clean and super cute as well.

Housekeeping is superb. Staff offer exceptional service.
Cleanliness is tops.
Housekeeping is impeccable.
Room rate might be 15%~20% more than most expect.

Comfy and conveniently located
The central location and proximity to lots of restaurants and cafes; the communal “living room” area on the ground floor; the fish pond outside; and the retro white-tiled decor of the bathroom. (There’s also one staff member named Ethan, if I recall correctly, who was exceptionally yet genuinely kind to our young daughter.)
The insistence on speaking English (even with Mandarin-speaking clientele); the mediocrity and lack of diversity of complimentary “breakfast” options on the ground floor; and the plastic grid floor in the room.

I'll would definitely come back for another stay at this hotel
Great hotel, the staff is very helpful. They did there best assist me with every request I had.
Breakfast was a bit unsetesfied, maybe a self service buffet could work better

Our stay is comfortable, pleasant and convenient
I didnt have breakfast in the hotel but the complimentary breakfast items for those who are in a rush or do not want to have big breakfast at the little lounge area near to the reception was excellent.
Location is superb!
Staff are very smiley and helpful.
The room is comfortable and clean. Hope the hotel will continue to maintain high standard of cleanliness

A serene and welcoming experience in busy Taipei
My husband and I booked this hotel after watching a review on YouTube and we could not have been happier. The staff were friendly and welcoming; the hotel lobby was serene and calming after a day of travel, and our room exceeded expectations. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean and spacious. The location of the hotel is excellent, with a train station close for those looking to use the MRT to explore. Would highly recommend this hotel and would happily stay again.

A designer's dream with cozy atmosphere
Unique style overall, every small detail is tastefully designed. Two bars - one with a garden, one with a balcony from which you can see 101. We had a room with balcony and the view was just breathtaking. Staff was super friendly and helpful whenever we approached them. Location is in a nice neighbourhood with many nice restaurants within walking distance.
We fell in love with this hotel!

Great hotel! I would highly recommend and I absolutely stay here agai.
Great newer hotel in a fantastic location. The staff were super friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. They were always there to open the door, answer our questions, and help us in any way we needed. The hotel is quiet and comfortable with a great lobby. There is a happy hour every day with drinks and prepared snacks, pastries in the morning, an espresso machine, and on-tap soda water, all free of charge. The bed is great as well. The location is in a great part of the city. The MRT station is within a couple hundred feet as are tons of restaurants and shopping. The hotel is well-styled and appointed.
We had 2 rooms and the king room layout is somewhat interesting. There is effectively no privacy in the bathroom from the rest of the room regardless of sink/mirror, toilet, or shower. The twin room offers more bathroom privacy

Perfect hotel for exploring Taipei
The location is perfect with easy access to public transport and lots of cafes, bars and restaurants just a short walk away. The hotel itself is beautifully and thoughtfully designed and the staff are super friendly and helpful. It’s probably one of the best city hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

A very enjoyable stay
The staff were excellent - very helpful and polite. We particularly liked the evening happy hour and the free morning coffee and croissants. The room was very comfortable and well equipped (for example,
a Dyson hairdryer in the room and straighteners available on request). The food in the restaurant was good although, like everywhere we went in Taiwan, the service was a bit too rapid - we like to linger over our meals.

Amenities not available. Need to ask
Felt that some amenities can be made available in the room such as cotton buds. Toothbrush. These are necessity for traveler

Enjoyed our first trip/experience in Taiwan, with the KIMPTON hotel and staff playing a huge role in that
The location is great, close to public transportation, restaurants and shops. Very walkable and safe. Enjoyed that the location is somewhat discreet and tucked away from the busy road(s). The staff were very attentive, welcoming and helpful. Room was extremely comfortable and clean.
Would have appreciated more storage space or hooks to hang towels/clothes. But other than that, thought the hotel was great overall.

Chic and quiet hotel in the heart of everything
The hotel is very close to the Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT blue and brown lines, shopping centres, Da'an walking district and restaurants — super convenient to get around. The hotel design is very chic and staff were warm and very helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable, and I appreciated the little touches like snacks, rental bikes, and umbrellas at the front door.
The bathroom design is questionable — the room entrance opens straight into a white-tiled bathroom, a pretty contemporary room design. Being white grout on narrow white tiles, a few corners looked worn and dirty. The toilet and shower stalls also share a heavy sliding door; only one of the facilities could be used at a time. It's not entirely what I expected from a 5-star hotel.

Great place but rooms have some quirks
The staff are very good, super attentive and friendly. The hotel has a cool design and feels intimate and not too large or sterile. They have evenign happy hours which are nice and a lot of the rooms have balconies.
The design of the rooms seems a bit 'experimental', like they were done as an architecture thesis project. A big mirrored door slides between the toilet and the shower and can close off one space at a time (but not both). The door is pretty heavy and I managed to slam it on my finger while closing it on the toilet side (there's no interior handle). It felt kind of cumbersome and, had I been travelling with someone else, it could have been a bit awkward. Also, the screen doors to the balcony do not make a total seal and leave a small gap that allows insects in. It was winter so no big deal, but would have been very annoying in summer.

Will definitely come back.
Amazing kind and helpful staff (Charlie is great!), clean and comfy rooms, great location, and free happy hour. And I love the balcony in the room!
Nothing.

Highly recommend the hotel and Daan has lots of nice places to visit
I stay here regularly now since i discovered Daan
Hotel is very well thought through from design to service. The rooms are particularly well designed with all thoughtful features. Some are gimmicky but still very nice gestures. Breakfast is great too. Particularly like their complimentary happy hour times. I met a few fellow travellers and had some good chats.
There’s a message place opposite the hotel which is very handy.
Sometimes on weekends the prices are very high. :(

Beautifully designed, minimalistic and aesthetic hotel with a fabulous location! Service exceptional with shout outs to
Beautifully designed property in quiet Daan district just 2 blocks to MRT.
Service was exceptional: Matthew, Charlie, Hunter, Rohit, Debbie - amongst others. We enjoyed morning tea and coffee in the living room before starting out on our day; returned to evening “social” hour again in the living room with complimentary wine and apples. Staff so attentive and willing to help !
One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at !
Nothing - price is probably higher than usual hotel stays but overall great value considering the evening “happy hour”

Best 5 Star Hotel in Taiwan || Best IHG Hotel I've stayed in
I thought the hotel was one of the biggest highlights of our trip to Taiwan. The room was incredibly spacious and it felt very cosy and classy at the same time. I'm very particular about hotels not being crowded and I was really happy with how there were barely any people and if there were it wasn't noisy or messy. The staff was really friendly and helpful to us as well! I really enjoyed their social hours at the lobby, its an interesting way to make your guests interact organically. Price was, I think its very reasonable and worth every $
I was a little bit concerned with how a hotel can function with only 2 elevators but I was surprised with how it was a non issue for the entire trip. I think they should highlight all the elite coffee and tea shops in Da'An district in the future because there's so many of them.

Warm stylish and comfortable!
Loved everything; the only issue we had iOS that there is no real closet or drawer space in the rooms to umpack fully. Otherwise the team the vibe the locations were terrific?
