Starwood to Open W Hotel in Taipei

Starwood is to open the W Taipei hotel in late 2010. W Taipei will be the brand’s seventh new property in the Asia Pacific region and the first in Taiwan.

 Located in the buzzing Central Business District of Xinyi, in the centre of Taipei’s business, financial, retail and entertainment hub, the hotel will cater to leisure seekers intent on insider access to the nearby nightlife spots which set the trends for the city’s electric party set.

Owned by Uni-President Development Corporation and Times Square International Hotel Corp, a leading conglomerate with Headquarters in Tainan, W Taipei will provide 405 rooms starting from 43 sqm, two contemporary restaurants, one destination bar, the signature W lounge, rooftop WET outdoor pool deck and poolside bar, SWEAT state-of-the-art fitness center and stylish retail store.

Designed by London-based G.A. Design International Ltd, the uniquely appointed al-fresco leisure spaces and iconic poolside will celebrate the skyline of the Xinyi area, while more than 20,000 sqf of function space and stylish bars makes for a social scene to be seen by night.

In addition to the many exclusive indulgences at W Taipei, the hotel will offer a ull-service WIRED business center open 24-hours, more than 2,800 square metres of ultra-modern meeting and event space, and the brand’s signature Whatever/Whenever service promise, providing guests whatever they want - from the ultimate guide to Taipei street markets to midnight delivery of freshly steamed “xiao long bao” - whenever they want it.
