Shangri-La's Far Eastern Taipei

The Shangri-La Far Eastern is an elegant hotel that blends Chinese and Western influences and is decorated in artistic masterpieces imitating the Song Dynasty. Occupying one of the soaring twin towers of the Taipei Metro Complex, this is the tallest hotel in Taipei and consists of 420 exquisitely appointed guest rooms and suites. All rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows – some of which take in the awe-inspiring views of the Taipei 101, and luxurious marble bathrooms come complete with a flat-screen TV. Plaza and Speciality Suites offer greater luxury and living space. Still, the crowning glory belongs to the magnificent and spacious Presidential Suite on the hotel's highest floor – complete with a separate living room, dining room, kitchen, sauna and steam room, grand piano and butler service.

As well as banqueting and conference facilities, the Shangri-La Far Eastern offers five multi-national gourmet restaurants and three unique lounges. Enjoy high-rise city views, specialities like Wuxi pork ribs and Shuzi steamed Boston lobster at the Shanghai Pavilion. Delight in excellent Italian cuisine at the romantic Marco Polo Restaurant, or sample exquisite Japanese cuisine such as teppanyaki, kaiseki and nigiri sushi at ibiki. The sixth-floor Café at Far Eastern is a favoured buffet restaurant, while gin lovers should see the vast selection at the Lobby Tea Room. A fully equipped health club, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and Qi Shiseido Salon and Spa on the 40th-floor provides guests with all their relaxation needs, while two outdoor swimming pools – including a spectacular heated rooftop pool offer incredible views over the city.
