W Taipei has opened its doors in the Taiwanese capital. GA Design International Ltd. of London has crafted a 31-story structure encased in radiant glass.
Greeting guests upon arrival is “The Chain,” made of stainless steel with a mirror finish. The hotel also showcases a cutting-edge collection of design installations that bring to life the hotel’s design concept of “nature electrified.” For instance, an interactive light installation called “To Light You Fade”-created by rAndom International, a W Hotels Designer of the Future-interacts with guests as they enter the building by changing the shape, look, and feel in sync with its surroundings.
W Taipei’s 405 guestrooms and suites are designed as private sanctuaries inspired by nature. Overlooking the Yangmingshan mountain range surrounding the city, accommodations feature an interior balcony/play pad; warm-colored stones; burnished wood; and lush floral carpeting contrasted with modern, subtle lighting inspired by Chinese lantern boxes.
Guests will have access to several F&B options: the Kitchen Table, al fresco dining on the pool sky deck, and Cantonese restaurant Yen. The hotel also offers more than 11,000 square feet of function space.
