Where to Stay in Taipei

Taipei is divided into 12 distinct downtown districts. Stay in Wanhua, the oldest district, to be near historic temples, theatres and funky neighbourhoods devoted to Japanese subculture, or Xinyi, the city’s business capital and home to Taipei 101 Tower.

Most hotels in Taipei are independently owned, with very few well-known international hotel brands in the city, except for in the business districts and close to the airport.
