5-star cultural hotel in Taipei directly above Taipei Main Station
Cultural & Design
Palais De Chine Hotel is the first cultural hotel in Taipei, blending classic European decor with oriental elements. Its Grand Hall features sixteen crystal chandeliers and a bronze curtain ceiling. The design merges medieval European inspirations with Chinese philosophy throughout the property.
Location
The hotel is located directly above Taipei Main Station, providing access to the city's metro, rail, and bus terminal as well as the airport MRT. Taipei 101 is a 15-minute drive away, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei and National Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall are nearby. The Q Square Mall is connected to the hotel, and shopping and dining options are within a 3-minute walk from Taipei Bus Terminal.
Rooms
Executive Room guests have access to a VIP lounge on the 17th floor, which includes a reading area featuring European literature and art. Rooms are equipped with a Nespresso coffee machine and a Hi-Fi audio system. The executive floor offers a view of nighttime Taipei from the lounge.
Dining
The hotel houses 3 restaurants, including a fine Cantonese dining venue with signature dishes from acclaimed chefs and Michelin-starred options. A breakfast buffet offers a wide selection of local and international dishes, including Chinese specialties from different provinces. Le Thé serves Italian wines and evening canapés in a Parisian bistro setting.
Family & Business
The hotel provides strollers and kids' meals for families. Four flexible meeting rooms and a grand ballroom accommodate up to 360 guests. A business center with fax and photocopying services is available on site.

“What strikes me is its bold concept: a cultural hotel that seems to draw inspiration equally from classic Europe and Taipei's own rich history. I'm particularly drawn to the claim of signature dining experiences, including Michelin-starred options, suggesting a commitment to culinary excellence. Its location above Taipei Main Station also makes it, in my opinion, an ideal base for exploring the city.”
