Marriott all set to debut in Taiwan

Taipei Marriott Hotel is scheduled to open in July 2015.

Marriott International is all set to expand its global portfolio with the anticipated July opening of the Taipei Marriott Hotel, the first Marriott Hotel in Taiwan. The largest integrated destinational complex in Taipei, the Taipei Marriott Hotel offers a wide range of travel and leisure experiences for locals and visitors alike, including a five-star 320-room luxury hotel, modern convention center, high-end shopping mall and luxury apartments. Moreover, with a lush, green landscape that envelopes much of the hotel’s property, the Taipei Marriott Hotel is a serene and tranquil oasis of luxury within the bustling city.

The contemporary Taipei Marriott Hotel offers 320 well-appointed guest rooms and suites as well as four distinct restaurants and a lounge with a stylish, sophisticated design that reflects the local culture and tradition while also showcasing technology and creativity. With a prime location on the north bank of the Keelung River, the Taipei Marriott Hotel offers unobscured panoramic views of Taipei City from each guest room.

Perfect for business and leisure travelers, the Taipei Marriott Hotel is conveniently located in the booming Dazhi District, the capital’s new commercial hub, just 10 minutes from Songshan International Airport and five minutes from the Neihu Technology Park. In addition, the MRT Jiannan Rd. station, the beautiful Mt. Jiannan Trail and the Miramar Shopping Center are short walks from the hotel. Finally, the Taipei Marriott also enjoys the distinction of being the closest five-star hotel to the National Palace Museum, a favorite cultural attraction.

A Modern, Green Oasis in the Heart of Taipei City

Taipei Marriott Hotel features a striking, contemporary design that is softened by a lush, green landscape. Modern glass structural walls are offset with earth tone palates and natural materials, creating expansive areas that capture the sunlight. At the heart of the hotel is the ground floor lobby, where tall, arched doorways with brass linings create a dynamic, yet inviting atmosphere and modern and traditional elements are skillfully fused.

One of the most striking elements of the Taipei Marriott Hotel is the pervasive use of lush greenery, part of Marriott’s “Green Hotel Development” initiative. Indigenous shrubbery and flowering plants are found throughout the hotel grounds and, like a botanical garden, are interspersed with pieces of art and sitting areas. In the center of the landscape is “Butterflies,” a monumental aluminum sculpture by Spainaird Manolo Valdes, which is inspired by the nearby butterfly biosphere reserve on Mt. Jiannan. The sculpture is the artist’s tribute to Taiwan, known as “The Butterfly Kingdom,” and serves as a tribute to nature and the arts.

Inspirational Meetings & Special Events

The Taipei Marriott Hotel offers the largest state-of-the-art convention center in Taipei, with 3,000 square meters of pillarless, flexible space that can be transformed into up to 12 meeting spaces, as well as an elegant 1,260 squaremeter Grand Ballroom – the largest at a Taiwan hotel. From large conferences to intimate board meetings, Taipei Marriott is the ideal locale, offering the latest audio-visual innovations and access to gourmet catering and expert event planning.
