"Le MERIDIEN" is an international design hotel that started in France-Paris in 1972 and spread throughout the world. The hotel started with the concept of a “home” for travelers, but it continues to grow all over the world. At Le Méridien Taipei, there are works in the hotel that fuse with contemporary art and enrich the sensibility. The hotel is a short walk away from Taipei's landmark, Taipei 101, and close to department stores as well.
The hotel was built in 2010, so it is relatively new.

The inside is very bright because the light from the bedroom comes in. The walls and floor are made of marble and it is very elegant.

Within walking distance from the hotel is Taipei 101, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, Large Department Store, and World Trade Center, making it a very convenient place for sightseeing. Shinko Mitsukoshi Department Store is next to the hotel and is a minute away. You can walk safely at night. There were many restaurants and shops around.
Taipei 101 lights up in different colors every day.
The hotel is at a convenient place for transportation. It is an 8-minute walk away to MRT City Government Station, a 40-minute drive from Taoyuan International Airport and a 15-minute drive from Songshan International Airport. To ride the bus from Taoyuan International Airport, you can take the Oi Bus 1960 line and get off at the bus station at City Hall Station. There is also a hotel limousine service. I think the taxis are the most convenient, but the buses and MRTs are close to the station so it is easy to get to sightseeing spots. Also, hotel parking is free.
There were many young staff. All they did was check me in, but they were very helpful when I asked questions.
Most of the guests staying at this hotel were Asian or perhaps local Taiwanese. There were not many Westerners.
It was a nice designer hotel originating in Paris, and it was a discerning hotel full of art. From the entrance to the room, everything was unified with modern interiors which were very sophisticated. Location was very good and it was easy move around on rainy days to walk along the roof to the nearby commercial facilities and MRT station. It is a business district where corporate headquarters gather, so it is recommended for both business and leisure travelers.
