Artyzen Hospitality Group will operate and manage citizenM’s first hotel in Taipei. 


Scheduled to open around Q4 of 2016, the hotel marks the entry of the citizenM brand into Asia Pacific and its expansion in the region. The 260-room citizenM hotel is located in Ximending, a retail and entertainment hub.
Launched in Amsterdam in 2008, citizenM now operates seven hotels in cities including London, Paris, and New York. A further six hotels are currently in development, bringing the brand’s global room count to nearly 3,000 keys. Target cities for future hotels include the capitals and gateway cities of Europe, North America, and Asia, while potential projects include new builds, mixed-use developments, conversions, and the rebranding of existing hotels.
“Establishing our presence across Asia’s gateway cities tops our list of priorities and as we celebrate the signing of the first citizenM hotel in Taipei, we are also setting our sights on keys cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta, and Bangkok,” says Robbert van der Maas, president of Artyzen Hospitality Group. “citizenM has proven successful in established markets and we are confident of its success in Asia. We invite property owners and developers to experience the brand’s true potential with us.”
The name citizenM derives from Mobile Citizens and some of the brand’s signatures include a stylishly designed living room in place of a lobby; onsite food and beverage; a 24-hour hotel bar; and contemporarily designed rooms.
