Staycation” is the answer for those seeking a vacation without venturing far. If you’re in the Greater Taipei area and wish to avoid the hassles of long journeys, consider exploring hidden gems right in the heart of the city. These forgotten corners hold memories worth revisiting. Who knows? You might stumble upon delightful surprises!
The suite is lavishly adorned with numerous Chinese-style ceramics and antique artifacts as room decorations.
As soon as I stepped inside, I felt an incredibly spacious and open room. Upon entering, the first thing that caught my eye was the expansive living room, with a direct view leading to the balcony and courtyard. The natural light streaming in was absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend this place for Instagram-savvy influencers who want to discover the unique Chinese-inspired charm it offers.
Adjacent to the television, you’ll find the master bedroom. Our room type features two spacious king-size double beds, making it ideal for a family of four to enjoy a brief one-night getaway here.
This cleverly partitioned space between the living room and bedroom makes it an ideal choice for family accommodations. Surprisingly, I discovered that the Grand Hotel’s suite boasts excellent natural light and ventilation. Even without air conditioning, opening the windows to let in the fresh breeze feels incredibly comfortable. On the hotel’s first floor, I stocked up on snacks from the FamilyMart convenience store, all set for a relaxing evening.
When I’m away from home and staying in a hotel, my absolute favorite amenity is having a spacious full-length mirror in the room. It’s incredibly convenient for changing outfits, grooming, makeup touch-ups, and experimenting with different styles—all at a glance!
The bathroom facilities here are thoughtfully divided into separate areas for the sink and toilet. Moreover, the entire bathroom is independent from the master bedroom. And let’s not forget the generously sized bathtub, perfect for indulging in a relaxing bubble bath.
Discovering the Grand Hotel here is always a delightful surprise! Despite living in Taipei for so long, I had never stayed at the Grand Hotel before. The experience here is truly unlike any other hotel. Not only does it exude unique historical charm, but it also boasts a rich cultural heritage. And the best part? The living spaces are incredibly spacious!
As soon as you open the doors between the living room and bedroom, you step onto a private balcony exclusive to each room. The ambiance here is wonderfully nostalgic, reminiscent of scenes from classic Chinese period dramas. Fans of historical Chinese costume dramas are sure to appreciate this unique atmosphere.
A row of extraordinary colonnades, adorned with vibrant vermilion pillars, offers a spacious view reminiscent of ancient royal palaces.
The natural light on the balcony is top-notch!
As evening descended, I returned to the living room. Switching on the indoor lights, a distinctly warm and cozy English classical ambiance enveloped the space. The Grand Hotel strikes a harmonious balance between East and West, seamlessly blending both cultures.
Right now, it’s perfect for sharing a bottle of California Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc with family and friends. After enjoying the wine, I plan to get an early night’s rest and prepare for an early morning excursion to Yangmingshan!
