Mandarin Oriental, Taipei
The Mandarin Oriental, Taipei is a stunning landmark situated on the prestigious Dunhua North Road. Its striking European-inspired architecture was brought to life by the renowned firm WATG, creating a grand, châteauesque aesthetic that immediately sets it apart from the surrounding cityscape. Inside, the hotel is a masterpiece of design, blending Eastern aesthetics with sophisticated luxury, featuring an extensive collection of over 1,700 pieces of curated artwork throughout its halls.
A highlight for any visitor is the hotel’s signature antique fan, a handmade piece dating back to circa 1800, which reflects the brand’s deep commitment to heritage. The attention to detail is truly remarkable, from the hand-sculpted leather panels depicting peony flowers to the awe-inspiring 1,400-kilogram crystal chandelier in the lobby, which took nine months of meticulous craftsmanship to assemble.
Dining is a serious affair here, home to the Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant, Ya Ge. Guests also benefit from some of the most spacious accommodations in the city, where marble bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes come standard. The holistic spa, which is among the best in the region, adds another layer of tranquility to this urban sanctuary.
Location-wise, you are perfectly placed for local exploration. The hotel offers easy access to the iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper, the lush riverside parks, and the vibrant arts scene at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. It serves as an elegant, serene base for anyone looking to experience the mix of traditional beauty and modern dynamism that defines Taipei.
Expert reviews
“It’s all about decadent accents (acres of marble and silk), a stunning art collection…and a big lineup of dining options, ranging from Italian to Cantonese to French. Don’t miss afternoon tea in the Jade Lounge, which has already become a hit with locals.”
“While it’s a top choice for both business and leisure travelers, the luxurious Taipei stay is also a hit with international celebrities such as Madonna, Will Smith, Hugh Jackman, Tom Cruise, Jun Ji-hyun and Jacky Cheung. Mandarin Oriental is known is for opulence, and this regal hotel does not disappoint.”
“An opulent five-star experience on a sleepy boulevard near Songshan Airport. Rooms are richly furnished in an eastern–modern meld. Facilities include an enormous spa, a 20m pool and a string of top-notch restaurants with tastes from Italian to traditional Chinese.”
“Taipei’s most luxurious hotel, the Mandarin Oriental offers plenty of substance as well as unabashedly lavish interiors. Expect exceptional service, a plethora of dining options and beautifully styled rooms in which it’s a pleasure to linger.”

Luxurious oasis in Taipei
This hotel is perfection in every sense. The breakfasts were fantastic. The gym is really well equipped and very large. The spa treatment I had was the best I’ve ever had. Every single thing about this hotel was top notch

A Luxurious Stay with Some Drawbacks
The Mandarin Oriental Taipei impresses with its grandeur and attention to detail. The large, spacious rooms provide exceptional comfort, complemented by elegant interior artwork that enhances the luxurious ambiance. The hotel’s exterior architecture is striking, exuding timeless sophistication. Adding to the experience, the staff are warm and friendly, ensuring that guests feel genuinely welcomed. The dining options are excellent, with a variety of restaurants serving exceptional cuisine, making every meal a delight.
The breakfast service had long wait times, which is unexpected for a hotel of this caliber, and the noodle counter chef did not understand English, leading to frustration. The fitness gym was lackluster and uninspiring, lacking the premium feel expected at a Mandarin Oriental property. Additionally, it was disappointing that hotel guests were charged a high fee to use spa facilities like the steam room, sauna, and vitality pool—amenities that are often complimentary at other luxury hotels. Lastly, the exterior swimming pool had an issue that irritated my eyes, detracting from what should have been a relaxing experience.

I believe we stayed 3 nights at the beginning of our trip and 2/3 at the end of the trip
Breakfast was extremely good and the location in a smart area of Taipei but requires a taxi to get to points of interest.

Classic luxury hotel
Employee concern for customer satisfaction.
The breakfast does not reach high standards of Mandarin Oriental!

A beautiful place to stay
Super helpful and friendly staff, huge room (Deluxe King) and an amazing breakfast buffet. I can't say that the design is my style, but it's impressive (and eclectic) but par for the course with a Mandarin Oriental property. I always think they are better in Asia too. I'd would definitely stay again.
The only thing that could be improved is the pillows; they are too soft and flat for my taste. I don't know why hotels don't place both a hard and soft pillow on each bed so you can pick what you prefer.

We had a great time in Taipei
General appearance and service level .. a wonderful place to come back to
The breakfast was ok but not sensational
The location is not the best

Exceptional Hotel, Staff and stay. Will definitely come back
Everything! Facilities was great, staff was excellent, the room, the bar, the service, and the breakfast!! 1000%
If I had to say something then it’ll be location. Not within distance to underground, only buses. We ended up ubering most of the trips out to central.

A pleasant stay in a castle-like hotel!
The concept and staff service were excellent.
No bidet for a five star hotel. Gym may need to update equipment.

Excellent prestigious location, Staff are great, best facilities and spa.
Just amazing all the details that makes this place truly special. The service is great and the rooms perfectly decorated. -the boulevard suites are amazing and spacious. The Spa is one of the best if not the best in Taipei. The service is good and there are great dining options and Michelin star restaurants that are all fantastic. -Cafe Lugano is a great place for the French Onion Soup and the meat sandwich is amazing. The MO Bar had creative and excellent drink options. The boutique mall has many gems including a Richard Mille boutique.
A very small gripe but the parking system is very old compared to other hotels and locations in Taipei that all use your license plate. They use a parking ticket system which is old and prone to be problematic. Why they still use that old system is beyond me...

Luxury and relaxation are beautiful harmony.

Wonderful stay. Will come back
Gorgeous property with state of the art equipment in the rooms. Very well trained staff, from the bellman to the pool attendant, to the breakfast staff to the housekeepers. The Mandarin Oriental Taipei does not disappoint. Great food, amazing beddings, very quiet ambiance.

It is our first time to stay MO in Taipei, the exquisite, and luxurious hotel environment le
Breakfast is good but not my favorite meal. I prefer to order from ala ca but the price is not worth compared with buffet. But I liked the coffee and bakery for free in the early morning offered the guest who can’t have a big meal..unlucky it is not my time, I missed it every single day.
Better to offer free coffee and small bites for a whole day in the public space.
