The five-star Grand View Resort Beitou is near the source of Taipei’s white sulphur springs and offers you incredible views over Beitou. If the Zen-inspired ultra-modern architecture doesn't entice you into lingering in your room a little longer, then the incredible bathtubs will. There's also an on-site spa to ensure pampering is on your agenda and three restaurants to choose from once all this self-love has left you peckish. We also recommend staying at the Grand Mayfull Taipei, a skyscraper hotel with jaw-droppingly magnificent interiors and luxurious suites. Check out the poolside bar, fitness centre and five places where you can dine. Choices, choices…

On the banks of Tamsui River, the Zhongzheng District is an excellent choice for first-time travellers to Taipei due to its location.
