Affordable and luxurious
My friend recently returned from Taiwan describing it as “like Singapore, except everything’s in Chinese”. It’s safe, has great food and has an efficient public transport system. From visiting the most picturesque tea houses to releasing sky lanterns at Shi Fen Old Street, Taiwanese dramas have given us so many reasons to visit this food haven.
And here’s a little secret from us – you can now get to all these places for under $450, including a 3D2N stay and a return flight! No extra costs and hidden prices, straight up under $450. Here are 8 luxurious hotels you should keep an eye on for your next trip to Taiwan.
1) Boutix Resort Hotel Yehliu
SourcePrice: SGD $436/person per person, including flight, hotel, and taxes
98% of Expedia users recommend this hotel! Quiet and tranquil, offering you the convenience to get to the main city via public transport yet the exclusivity of the taiwanese coast line right at your hotel window. A stone’s throw away from Yehliu Geopark, pun intended. This is the hotel to stay at if you want to experience Taiwan for its geography and sights, yet enjoy the luxury and plush interior of the hotel.
2. La Maison
Price: S$360/Person includes flight, hotel, and taxes
With its warm rosewood and French-luxe interior, La Maison is a dream to look at. Conveniently situated near numerous transport networks such as the Wende or Gangqian MRT stations, getting around the Taipei City area and its landmarks and attractions is an absolute breeze. I heard that the complimentary breakfast is absolutely fantastic as well – the perfect start to any morning!
3. Diary of Ximen
Price: SG$367 per person, including flight, hotel, and taxes
One thing I like about Diary of Ximen is how adorably whimsical the wall decorations are! Other than the interior, unlike most hotels, this one offers you a microwave oven and refrigerator at your convenience. Perfect for families with young kids who are picky eaters, or if you fancy a convenient midnight snack!
Located in Ximending, this hotel is within a 15-minute walk of Red House Theater, Presidential Office Building, and National Taiwan Museum, all landmarks you need to visit whilst in Taipei.

If you would like to explore even further outwards, the hotel provides free shuttle services to and from 2 other MRT stations, and to the Taipei Main station.
7. FX Hotel Nanjing East Road Branch

Strikingly purple and almost reminiscent of a discotheque, like any party location this 4 star hotel is situated in one of the most convenient spots in Taipei.
