Regent Taipei

Some reviews here would have you believe you’ll be sleeping on unforgiving marble slabs; here’s our experience with the beds: “Huh, this is pretty firm. Are we going to be able to sleep on this...?” [10 hours of uninterrupted sleep later] “Wow, we feel great!” It certainly helped that we got upgraded to a corner room with a peek at Taipei 101 in the distance — thanks to the staff and AMEX FHR for that. 👍 Our FHR rate also included the daily breakfast buffet, in the large restaurant at the back of the hotel. Every single morning there was a lineup, and every single morning we were sat within a few minutes of our arrival. I also appreciated that servers were offering drip coffee delivered to our table, saving me from lining up at the espresso machines. And a big shout-out to the lady going around offering fresh croissants, an unexpected but welcome treat! If I was nitpicking I suppose I could point out that the youth-focused surroundings are a bit at odds with the Regent’s more posh vibe. Honestly, though, there’s a Din Tai Fung only a six-minute walk away. What more could you ask for? If the price was right I would 100% book another stay here. Thanks for taking care of us. 🙏

We really enjoyed this hotel, especially being in a Taipan room, so good to use the lounge. The only thing we found was that the mattress was super hard and not at all comfortable for us. The location was great and the views were excellent. We especially enjoyed the food served in the Taipan lounge.

This hotel has to be six star honestly because it was serious lol. The rooms were huge, the bathrooms were all marble, the rooftop pool was sensations, it had a high fashion shopping mall underneath, a seven eleven conveniently nearby, a gym and spa in the basement and a bar/restaurant in the top floor. One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. The rooms have actual keys instead of the electric key cards which was a nice novelty touch

Bathrooms are outdated and horrible thick caulking. Tub looked dirty. Location was great though! Lobby and driveway had random uneven sloping surfaces that caused my child to trip. They literally have staff standing around telling people to “watch their step”.

We stayed at the property last December for four nights. I loved the surrounding area, trendy, a little busy but not to the extent of Ximending. A lot of eateries and shopping centers around. The building in which the hotel is located has a few luxury brand stores such as Gucci and Bvlgari. We arrived very late, around 11PM. Check in was quick and efficient. There was not anybody who helped with the luggage, but the bell service people were available during the normal business hours of 7AM-22PM. We saw the grand Christmas tree that Regent Taipei was famous for. There was a Santa meet and greet session where you could queue up for, if anybody is interested. We booked a 2 queen bed balcony room. The room was HUGE! The corridor from the lift to the room felt dated but the room was modern and furnished nicely and very comfortable (I do not know whether the room has been recently refurbished). The bathroom was large, and the toilet came with a bidet. The bed was great, the pillows were heavenly and the linen felt fresh and clean. The living room area was great. But the balcony was really small and a little pointless. The room was also very very quiet which was a great PLUS for a light sleeper like myself. Overall, an incredible stay.
