Since it was my husband's first visit to Taiwan and first time meeting my extended family (complete with language barriers, cultural gaps, etc.), I thought it would be nice to book a room at the Shangri-La where we could recuperate between family obligations. We are Golden Circle junkies and have stayed/lived at Shangri-La properties throughout China and Southeast Asia, so... More

The service at this hotel is always great, probably one of the best experiences. The staff are always courteous, right from the greeting at the airport arrival gate, upon arrival at the hotel lobby and the check-in. Their staff also always offer to carry your bags.

Although without a reservation, speedy and courteous check-in was a good sign that bode well. We found the hotel facilities to be generally excellent and the staff throughout, attentive though always unobtrusive, to be quietly swift with the provision of assistance whenever needed. Well located centrally and in easy walking distance of many attractions, the hotel proved to be an... More

The room was nice, swimming pool just big enough to swim laps, breakfast was good. The Horizon lounge added to the comfort of my stay. Service in the fine dining restaurant on the top floor was slow, but otherwise service was excellent.

I have stayed at Shangri La hotels in Hong Kong and Tokyo which are both absolutely superb so booked the same for my first visit to Taipei. Unfortunately I think my expectations were set too high from those experiences. It is a decent hotel but nowhere near the same standards as the chain's other hotels in Asia. The room I... More

Stayed at this Shangri-La late April 2013 for 4 nights. Tranquil and hospitable describe this place to the tee. The orchid scent all over the premise is just delightful. Maid service, restaurant(s) service, and bell service were top notch. The only little annoyance was the maids speaking to each other at high pitched tones early in the morning. The hallways... More
