At a Glance

What is W Taipei like?

W Taipei sits on Section 5 of Zhongxiao East Road in the Xinyi District, in a tower directly above MRT Taipei City Hall Station. Taipei 101, the Taipei Dome and the surrounding department stores are all close, and several of the big malls are linked by skybridges. The hotel has 405 rooms and suites, decorated with art pieces such as Chinese zodiac animal sculptures and stainless-steel map installations. Guests sleep on the W Bed (350-thread-count sheets and a down duvet), and bathrooms have a separate bathtub.

Dining is spread over two floors: the 31st floor has YEN Chinese Restaurant (紫艷中餐廳), serving modern Cantonese cuisine, and YEN Bar, while the 10th floor has WOOBAR and the poolside WET® Bar. The French restaurant Seasons by olivier e. also serves breakfast, which is charged separately. If you'd rather stay in, in-room dining runs 24 hours.

Facilities include a heated outdoor pool on the 10th floor, the FIT gym, the AWAY® Spa treatment pods and the two-level CONNECTED business center. Guests must be 18 or older to check in, and pets are not accepted (service animals excepted). It suits travelers who want to eat, drink and shop around Xinyi by day and stay in for the hotel bars at night.

✓ A good fit if

  • First-time visitors to Taipei who want Taipei 101, the Xinyi shopping district and the nightlife within walking distance: MRT Taipei City Hall Station is right outside, and the department stores are linked by skybridges.
  • Couples or friends who care about design and atmosphere: WOOBAR, the WET® poolside bar and YEN Bar on the 31st floor are all in the hotel, so there's no need to head out again at night to find a place.
  • Guests traveling with their own car: each room gets one free parking space for guests, and valet parking is also available; check with the hotel whether this applies to a charter vehicle.

✕ Consider another hotel if

  • You want quiet, slow-paced lodging: WOOBAR turns into a bar at night and there's a DJ by the pool, so the overall vibe is lively. Consider Le Méridien Taipei, also in Xinyi, with 160 rooms. — try Le Méridien Taipei
  • Your plans center on Dadaocheng, Zhongshan and Beitou: commuting from Xinyi to the west side of the city every day adds travel time, and Regent Taipei in the Zhongshan District works better. — try Regent Taipei

Access

Location

The hotel is at No. 10, Section 5, Zhongxiao East Road in the Xinyi District, in a tower directly above a department store and MRT Taipei City Hall Station. Taipei 101 is within walking distance, and the large malls nearby are connected by skybridges. The Taipei 101 Observatory, the Taipei Dome, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Songshan Cultural and Creative Park and the Elephant Mountain Trail are all close by.

For a night market in the evening, head to Raohe Street Night Market; Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and the National Taiwan University area are reachable by MRT with a transfer.

With a private charter

Taoyuan International Airport is about 50 km from the hotel, while Songshan Airport is only about 4.8 km away. The hotel has no airport shuttle bus and its private car costs extra, so for a family with big suitcases a point-to-point private charter is the easier option. Xinyi is on the east side of Taipei, and from here you can do Jiufen and Shifen on the Northeast Coast one day and Yehliu and Keelung on the North Coast the next, back at the hotel each night; for Yilan you can get straight onto the national freeway out of the city. The charter driver can pick up and drop off at the hotel entrance; see above for the guest parking rules, and check with the hotel whether they apply to a charter vehicle. Xinyi traffic is heavy during the morning rush, so allow extra time for early departures.
