Detailed review & photos “W Taipei”

The hotel is a 31-story building located just a 1-minute walk from the city government station, which is the sixth on the MRT Bannan Line (BL line) from Taipei Main Station. There was also a big W red sign at the top of the hotel.

At night, the hotel stands out from being lit up with red lights.

The lower floor of the hotel is a department store and the hotel is above the 8th floor.

There was a drive-through at the entrance.

This big W sign on the side of the entrance was also shining red at night.

The first floor lobby was very spacious. The ceiling was high and the entrance side had a glass door, so it was bright and open during the day.

The design was very interesting.

There is only a concierge desk at the 1st floor lobby, and the front desk is on the 10th floor. You can take this elevator to the 10th floor.
