Newly opened in 2014, Mandarin Oriental Taipei is a five-star hotel offering the finest space and hospitality in Taipei. Buildings made in European style and interiors designed in classical modern were very gorgeous and elegant. Since its opening, there have been many world famous stars such as Jackie Chain, Milla Jovovich, Madonna, Chris Evans, Ayumi Hamasaki and Hidetoshi Nakata who have stayed at this hotel. I had the opportunity to spend time like a celebrity at this gorgeous hotel.
The Mandarin Oriental Group seems to attach a concept to the design of each hotel to this fan mark. The Mandarin Oriental Taipei fan seems to have the motif of “European antique fan with 200 years of history.”
