Marriott International opens the Taipei Marriott Hotel, the first Marriott Hotel in Taiwan, this month. The largest integrated destinational complex in Taipei, the Taipei Marriott Hotel offers a wide range of travel and leisure experiences for business travellers, including a five-star luxury hotel and a modern convention center, nestled in a lush, green landscape within the bustling city.

Perfect for business travellers, the Taipei Marriott Hotel is conveniently located in the booming Dazhi District, the capital’s new commercial hub, just 10 minutes from Songshan International Airport and five minutes from the Neihu Technology Park. In addition, the MRT Jiannan Rd. station, the beautiful Mt. Jiannan Trail and the Miramar Shopping Center are short walks from the hotel.

Taipei Marriott Hotel features a striking, contemporary design that is softened by a lush, green landscape. Modern glass structural walls are offset with earthtone palates and natural materials, creating expansive areas that capture the sunlight. At the heart of the hotel is the ground floor lobby, where tall, arched doorways with brass linings create a dynamic, yet inviting atmosphere and modern and traditional elements are skillfully fused.

For meeting planners, the Taipei Marriott Hotel offers the largest state-of-the-art convention center in the city, with 3,000sqm of pillarless, flexible space that can be transformed into up to 12 meeting spaces, as well as an elegant 1,260sqm Grand Ballroom – the largest at a Taiwan hotel. From large conferences to intimate board meetings, Taipei Marriott is the ideal locale, offering the latest audio-visual innovations and access to gourmet catering and expert event planning.  For the most memorable weddings in Taipei, the Garden Villa located on the top floor of the conference center offers direct access to a beautiful rooftop garden, ideal for cocktail events and break outs.

Taipei Marriott Hotel also offers five distinct restaurants and lounges with an international selection of cuisine to please the most sophisticated palates.  The Lobby Lounge offers all-day bites and drinks along with free WiFi – the perfect place for informal meetings and catch ups.  Also on the Lobby level, and surrounded by a beautiful garden, the Garden Kitchen offers all-day dining with Asian-inspired Western fare served semi-buffet style, offering guests the choice of a variety of light dishes or made-to-order entrees.  On Level 2, Mac’s Teppan skillfully showcases Japanese Teppanyaki, Chinese and Western cuisine at live cooking stations. The spirit of Taiwanese hospitality is highlighted in the Marriott’s signature Chinese restaurant, The Dining Place, on Level 3, which boasts a menu laced with a variety of Cantonese and Sichuan dishes and private dining rooms that are ideally suited for intimate corporate gatherings. On the 20^th floor, Oxy Bar & Grill serves up gourmet grilled cuisine, while Inge, on the 21^st floor, is Taipei’s top whiskey bar, offering more than 200 varieties of private collection whiskeys and spectacular city views.

Business travellers can shake off the boardroom with a visit to the hotel’s spa, located on the 19^th floor, which features a menu of luxurious personalized spa treatments, a state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, and a rooftop swimming pool.  www.marriott.com
