This hotel is a 3 minute walk from Taipei Zhongshan Station. If you cross the first main street, Zhongshan North Road, you will see "Okura Prestige Taipei" at the corner. The glass building is higher than the police station building in the foreground and has a modern and luxurious feel. As a chain of Hotel Okura, it can be said that it is an internationally proud hotel that combines the polite thought of “Japanese” that boasts Japanese culture with the taste of “Western.” I will introduce this hotel located in Zhongshan, which is convenient for business, sightseeing and shopping.
As you walk toward the hotel, you will see a magnificent building that did not blend in with the cityscape of Zhongshan. The Okura Prestige Taipei is a beautiful glass-walled building that is taller than its surrounding buildings and it stood out very much.
There were many cars stopped at the entrance. You will not get wet even on rainy days because there is a roof. There are also several doormen standing at the entrance that will help you with your luggage.
There is a big chandelier hanging at the entrance.

The hotel is well-located with good access to tourist spots.
