Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local attractions are all within a 10-minute drive of the hotel. First, just a five-minute walk away is Tamsui Old Street, where you can wander centuries-old alleys lined with red brick shops, sample iconic street snacks like aiyu jelly, iron eggs, and fried cuttlefish balls, and watch the sun set over the Tamsui River. Second, 1.5 kilometers from the hotel is Fort San Domingo, Taiwan’s oldest surviving European fortification. This 17th-century Spanish-built site features well-preserved colonial architecture, a small museum detailing Tamsui’s centuries-old history as an international trading port, and sweeping views of the Taiwan Strait. Third, a 10-minute ferry ride from Tamsui Wharf (two minutes from the hotel) is Fisherman’s Wharf, famous for its iconic Lover’s Bridge, waterfront bike paths, and some of the best sunset views in northern Taiwan.

Travel Tips

The golf course three kilometers from the hotel offers paid access for guests looking to fit in a round during their trip. Parking at the hotel is public and cannot be reserved in advance, so if you’re driving, plan to arrive a little early during peak weekend travel periods to secure a spot. If you’re traveling without a car, the Tamsui MRT station is just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, making it easy to explore the rest of New Taipei or day-trip to central Taipei. Don’t forget to book your SPA treatment in advance, especially during holiday and peak travel seasons, to secure your preferred time slot.
