Review: Grand Hyatt Taipei





We were excited to have the chance to stay at the Grand Hyatt Taipei, as we’ve enjoyed many of the other Grand Hyatt properties across Asia, like the Grand Hyatt Tokyo and Grand Hyatt Singapore. But I have to say, this hotel was just a little different.

The lobby was airy and very open.

Of course, we were whisked up to the Grand Club for check-in.

Unfortunately, our room wasn’t ready — we had arrived into Taipei at 6am, and made good time, so it was not even 9am when we had gotten to the hotel. So we were invited to enjoy breakfast in the lounge. This wasn’t ideal, but, it was certainly comfortable.

The spread was reasonable – perhaps not as exhaustive as some hotels, but certainly more than sufficient.

When we finally got to the room–after a short breakfast–we were happy to the space.

There was a nice sized television too.

Overall, we found the room to be comfortable, and more than sufficient for our two night stay in Taipei.

Evening Drinks at the Grand Club

One thing that we tend to enjoy, is spending our evenings at the Grand Club. I realize that we’re missing out on some of the nightlight, but it always ends up being a relaxing environment to talk about the day, plan for the next day, and catch up on e-mail (a necessary evil).

Conclusion

Overall, the hotel was more than satisfactory. I thought the Grand Club was great, although as I went through my photos, I missed the little kitchen area that they would prepare omelettes in the morning and warm dishes in the evening. The location wasn’t perfect, its in the business district, but, I really found the city to be walkable, and certainly hospitable, so the location was more than fine. The hotel had all the amenities you’d expect for either a vacation or a business trip.

  1. We stayed several times there. The pool and spa is one of the best we have stayed. The location is great in my opinion since it’s so close to the most trendy area in Taipei. It’s a very popular area for tourists and locals with easy access to the metro.

    • I’m more of a local than a tourist, and I think the location is bad for pretty much anything that I need to do that isn’t around Taipei 101. You also end up paying close to western prices for food unless you look harder. The nearest night market is a 20 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel is nice and all, but the location stinks unless you like shopping high-end stores.
