Overview

Taipei blends ultramodern skyscrapers with ancient temples, bustling night markets, and some of the world's finest street food. Surrounded by lush mountains and accessible via the modern MRT system, it offers a seamless travel experience.

The Grand Hyatt Taipei and Marriott's properties regularly offer excellent CPP, often exceeding 2.0 for premium rooms — significantly better value than Tokyo or Seoul.

Hike to Elephant Mountain for Taipei 101 views, explore Jiufen hillside village, soak in Beitou hot springs, or spend an afternoon at the National Palace Museum. Din Tai Fung's soup dumplings and Shilin Night Market justify the flight alone.
