This is exciting — Taipei will be getting what will almost certainly be the city’s new best luxury hotel.

Love to see another FS in China. A testament to the growth of prosperity ushered by President Xi.
Looks like a top tier project with an all-star team. Architecture firm's RSHP, interior design by Yabu Pushelberg and construction by Yuanlih (responsible for One Park Taipei). It'll be in Xinyi D3, directly south of 101.
Lets hope they get to finish it before that fat, evil winnie-the-poo invades and blows Taiwan up.
Hashtag, confidently incorrect. Taiwan is an island province of China. The people, language, and culture are Chinese; as with other provinces, a Taiwanese dialect exists, as do local food specialties.
One of the special things about the Taiwan province of China is that unlike all other provinces, US citizens don’t need a visa to enter. Go forth and pay a visit!
There’s also a Park Hyatt being constructed in the same area, if I recall correctly. It’s sharing a new building with several other Hyatt brands.
The island of Taiwan is governed by the Republic of China...the ROC and PRC have an unfinished civil war to settle who controls all of China, including Taiwan. You think if the ROC won the civil war and took control of the mainland, they wouldn't control both the mainland and the island of Taiwan?
Show up with a Chinese passport and see if that gets you into Taiwan. If Taiwan is part of China please let me know where the PLA garrison is inside Taiwan.
Nation boundaries are political, saying the people, language and culture are similar (mainland China is hardly the same as Taiwan culture) doesn't mean they're the same country, anymore than Ukraine is Russia. According to your line of reasoning, Tibet, Mongolia and etc. must not be a part of China.
The MO Taipei is great, with large rooms, a massive breakfast spread, and very warm service. The fact that it's quite cheap compared to many other MOs is a nice plus.
PH Taipei and Andaz Taipei will both be in the new building with the old Grant Hyatt Taipei just across the street.
As surely as the sun rises in the east, and sets in the west, the wolf warrior mainland china parrots will spew their incoherent "Taiwan is part of China" rhetoric. Would be interesting if they ever actually did their own reading of history rather than aping Comrade Xi and his propoganda.
Meh, why spend $1000+ for the same view of the 101/cityscape? Grand Hyatt is more than adequate.
These red trolls lurk around and pounce on any China or Taiwan talk with their propaganda.
I am looking forward to staying at the new Four Seasons Taipei in the nation of Taiwan.
Park Hyatt and andaz are also under construction in the same Taipei 101 area, not very far from existing the Grand Hyatt Taipei.
Hey Ben, according to Taiwanese news a year ago, the projected opening is 2025. Though optimistic, I figured to let you know. Here is the youtube link to the news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEKIx_Iind0
Also saw Park Hyatt location being developed close by the Four Seasons area in Taipei earlier this week (all close to Taipei 101 building). Should be exciting news for people who can redeem with world of Hyatt points instead of paying cold hard cash.
Is the Korean war settled? Are north and south korea separate countries? When was the last shot fired in the Korean conflict vs the Chinese civil war? This isn't about the Chinese civil war from 70 years ago anymore. The fact that the two governments split over a civil war that essentially ended 70+ years ago is meaningless in your context. Taiwan is a country by all definitions of such, no matter what China and its trolls say. Sure, China could annex Taiwan at great cost if it really wished, but it doesn't change the facts.
sadly four seasons is not the company it used to be and their properties are not so top notch anymore.
have you been to mandarin taipei lucky? it’s absolutely gorgeous, i’d say even more than any other mandarins i’ve been at incl tokyo and hk ( and i’m usually biased towards hk!)
Interesting about the exec lounge. Would be an interesting post to do a list of all the Four Seasons properties that have one. The one in Buenos Aires does and has some wine/beer/bar snacks. I didn’t even know it existed until I checked in and was told I had access! This was last year. I had booked a room through Amex FHR but was upgraded to a suite with club access.
I’d say taiwan is a province. But if you insist they’re a country then I agree they’re number 1 better than good ol murica. As long as murica is not number 1!
David, Even Taiwan government think they’re the lawful ruler of all of china meanwhile white people think they’re not china? Why you meddle in the business of Chinese people (literally)? Like always. Nosy white man who thinks they rule the world. Westerner population is so tiny if the world is democracy you westerner will be outvoted. Take care of your own crumbling backyard before meddling in a more advanced China (both the PRC and ROC).
I stayed at the Regent and can confirm it is on the same level as Waldorf Astoria, Le Meridien, etc
When did Xi last step foot on Taiwan? I'll wait. He can't because it isn't China, fool. You can troll all you want but Taiwan has a democratically elected government, their own military, their own passports, and they want nothing from Xi's failed government.
Nah, ask normal Taiwanese people if they are interested in taking over mainland China. Even the ROC isn't trying to invade China, they just want to be left alone.
Also the thing with making assumptions is it makes you look real dumb when you're wrong. 誰說我是白人？sb
No one apart from Xi and his Chinese Communist Party cronies (which includes you, apparently) believes that.
The argument you give (it's ours to begin with, so we're not actually invading) is basically the same one Putin is using to justify the war in Ukraine. How's that going for Russia so far, after one full year?
Just got back from a 5-day stay in Taipei. As you noted, US citizens don't need a visa to enter Taiwan and the street food "night markets" offer a great venue for trying tasty local food specialties (like oyster omelettes). I agree that people should pay a visit.
One of the better street food markets (Linjiang St. Night Market) is within walking distance of the Grand Hyatt, where we stayed.
Indeed, I'd agree with Regent being a solid option in Taipei, a lot better than the outdated Shangri-La.
Honestly Lucky, why are you allowing CCP troll posters? I get not wanting to censor much but maybe a line should be drawn at propaganda for murderous regimes with literal concentration camps
So said Vladimir Putin, Adolf Hitler, and every other fascist murderer who has ever lived.
