Nearby Attractions

Three top local spots are all within a 15-minute drive of the hotel, perfect for easy day plans:

• New Taipei City Hall Plaza: A sprawling 13-hectare green space just 10 minutes from the hotel, home to seasonal festivals, open-air concerts, and the iconic New Taipei Bridge light show that runs every evening after sunset. It’s a great spot for picnics, morning jogs, or family photography.
• Banqiao Ancient Chinese Medicine Street: A 12-minute walk from the property, this historic lane lined with traditional herbal pharmacies and tea houses lets visitors sample local herbal teas, pick up natural remedies, and experience a slice of old Taiwanese urban life rarely seen by most tourists.

Travel Tips

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Banqiao MRT Station, making it easy to reach Taipei Main Station in 10 minutes and Ximending in 15 minutes via public transit. Since there is no on-site parking, we recommend taking the MRT if you’re visiting from Taipei City. Only Mandarin is spoken by front desk staff, so non-Chinese speakers should have a translation app ready for check-in. The hotel welcomes families with spacious family rooms and free board games and puzzles for kids, making it a great pick for multi-generational trips. Book in advance during peak travel seasons (Chinese New Year, summer vacation) to secure your preferred room type.
