Question

W Taipei

The W Hotel is among the city’s big-name luxury(奢华) hotels. Futuristic and fancy the W Taipei’s setting is reminding you of a Lady Gaga video; perhaps that explains why the singer insisted on staying here on a recent visit. There are eight room types to choose from with names such as Fabulous and Extreme Wow. They vary wildly in style.

Grand Hotel

If sleeping in landmarks is your thing the Taipei Grand Hotel is a must. The Grand is an expression of classical Chinese art mixed with Western construction principles. The Grand Hotel is attractive and full of history but rooms are aging so don’t expect the inside to be as “grand” as the outside. You can enjoy yourself at a driving range of golf year-round pools and no fewer than eight restaurants.

Dandy Hotel

From free drinks and snacks in the lobby(大堂) to seasonally themed decorations this hotel takes care of the small touches . But what places the Dandy Hotel above others in the same price category（范围）are views over Da-An Park; they’re reminders of those of New York’s Central Park. Rooms with views are worth the extra money paid but book early -- there are only two on each floor.
