Best Hotels in Taipei (2026)

Choosing where to stay in Taipei is mostly about which part of the city suits your plans. Zhongzheng and Datong, around Taipei Main Station, are the most practical base for transport, with the airport MRT and high-speed rail on the doorstep; Palais de Chine offers five-star comfort right beside the station, while Star Hostel and Flip Flop Hostel are sociable budget choices a few minutes' walk from the West 1 exit. Xinyi is the place for skyline views and nightlife, and W Taipei sits directly above Taipei City Hall MRT station next to Taipei 101.

For classic luxury and a full spa, Mandarin Oriental on Dunhua North Road is convenient for Songshan Airport and the business district. The Grand Hotel, founded in 1952 by Soong Mei-ling, is a palace-style landmark on the Yuanshan hillside with views over the Keelung River, best for travellers who want a sense of history and do not mind taking taxis. In the East District, Hotel Proverbs is a boutique design hotel with a terrace bar and outdoor pool, and amba Taipei Songshan offers mid-range style opposite Songshan Station, a short walk from Raohe Street Night Market. Book early for Lunar New Year and major holidays, and check whether rates include service charges and tax.
