Starwood has expanded its Aloft Hotels brand to Taiwan, with the opening of Aloft Taipei Zhongshan. Situated in the city’s northeast downtown area, the contemporary hotel offers a modern retreat for corporate travellers.

Only ten minutes drive from Taipei Songshan Airport and two minutes walk from the nearest Metro station, the 88-room hotel is adorned with artwork by young and talented Taiwanese designers and  features the brand’s signature offerings, including  free wifi, plush platform beds, oversized showerheads, custom amenities by Bliss Spa, Plug & Play connectivity panels, and 42-inch LCD TVs.

“Aloft Zhongshan Taipei serves as an ideal location for travellers who are visiting Taipei for business or leisure,” says Tiffany Lin, hotel manager of Aloft Taipei Zhongshan. “We are very excited to be the first Aloft hotel in Taiwan, opening our doors to today’s tech savvy and connected travellers, while adding a modern twist to the historical and boutique areas of downtown Taipei.”

Located on the top floor of the hotel, the signature W XYZ bar is a stylish lounge during the day and transforms into a hip bar by night; while the Re:fuel by Aloft offers international buffet breakfast and 24/7 “grab and go” option to business travellers on the run. www.starwoodhotels.com/alofthotels
