Waking up with a lovely view of Taipei's famed Taipei 101 from our bedroom is one of the best stays I had for 2017. That's when we stayed for 3 days and 2 nights at Grand Hyatt Taipei!
During our 5 day adventure in Taiwan, we stayed at Grand Hyatt Taipei where we indulge on a Grand Executive View Suite guestroom that features a lavish living room, a luxurious bedroom, a spacious dining area, and a fully-equipped toilet and bath overlooking the city. Indeed, Grand Hyatt Taipei is a perfect sanctuary for relaxation in Taipei.
Grand Hyatt Taipei is a 5-star rated hotel and is one of the finest hotels in Taipei. Located at Xinyi district, just beside World Trade Center and opposite Taipei 101, it gives every guest easy access to one of the tallest buildings in the world and to the city's many tourist spots and attractions.
Upon arrival at the hotel, I couldn't help but get impressed with the hotel's beautiful marble-clad lobby featuring high ceilings and a grand display of flowers at the center. We then proceeded to the reception desk where we were warmly welcomed by the hotel staff and gladly assisted us with our booking.
After confirming our reservation by showing them our passports, we were ushered to our room located at one of the top floors of the hotel. Checking-in was fast and done inside our suite room! How cool is that?!
Our Grand Executive View Suite room is a luxurious 893 sq. ft. guestroom at the hotel's higher floor which provides guests with a commanding panoramic views of Taipei. The living room room has a huge television set and a comfy sofa where guests could lounge and relax all day.
The dining area has a round table, and a mini bar filled with complimentary bottled water, snacks, and drinks, a refrigerator, a tea/coffee making facilities and a Nespresso coffee machine.
I then went to the bedroom. My jaw dropped when I saw how luxurious our bedroom is. It is highlighted with a lovely and comfy king-size bed complemented with high quality white sheets, thick duvet, and fluffy pillows. The room feels airy and very comfortable because of its size and the huge windows on two sides. I also love that it is well-organized and not cluttered.
Other essential amenities inside the room include a walk-in closet, an individually-controlled silent air conditioning unit, alarm radio, telephone, 55-inch Flat Panel HD TV with cable channels, a safety deposit box and in-room complimentary high-speed WiFi internet access. What I love most about it are the huge windows which give a breathtaking view of the city and of Taipei 101.
As I sneaked into the toilet and bath, I was impressed even more! It is so spacious and as grand as our room! It has a free-standing deep-soak bathtub, a walk-in shower area with rainshower and hot & cold water features, a separate toilet with clean water closet and bidet spray, and a spacious "his and hers" sink with a huge mirrors.
For guests' comfort and convenience, Ferragamo bathroom amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion and bath soap, as well as vanity and dental care kits were provided. High-quality bath and face towels were also provided. What else could I ask for?
Breakfast Buffet at The Cafe
Daily breakfast buffet at Grand Hyatt Taipei is served at their in-house all-day dining restaurant called The Cafe from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Guests staying at the Grand Executive View Suite have the option to have breakfast at the Grand Club Lounge or at The Cafe located at the ground floor near the lobby. Since we know that the buffet breakfast at The Cafe would definitely have more selections than the breakfast buffet at the the Club Lounge, we decided to have our breakfast at The Cafe.
The Cafe features contemporary show kitchen style buffet with a wide variety of international cuisines that will surely satisfy every guest's cravings. The restaurant also offers comfortable, relaxing and spacious atmosphere showcasing several food stations, which includes salads and appetizers, Asian cuisines, western dishes, Indian fare, Japanese dishes, fresh seafood, fresh fruits, homemade breads, cheese, desserts, and a selection of refreshing beverages.
The breakfast, in particular, are worth a mention being both varied and sumptuous. Ideal to wake up for after a relaxing and comfortable night's sleep. The breakfast buffet is quite good and we're satisfied with every breakfast we had during our stay. It's worth waking up to every morning.
Grand Club Lounge
Guests who book at the Grand Executive View Suite may also enjoy access to the Grand Club Lounge with an array of privileges, including personalized check-in and checkout service, full breakfast, afternoon tea, evening cocktails, access to the Hotel's well-being facilities, as well as complimentary meeting room usage. This is where we spent most of our time just enjoying afternoon tea along with some treats and early evening cocktails canapés while enjoying the breathtaking view of the city.
Afternoon tea is at 3:00 to 5:00 PM where guests could enjoy a variety of pastries and refreshments. Cocktails is at 5:00 to 7:00 PM where guests could enjoy free-flowing beers, wines, and other alcoholic drinks.
Other Hotel Facilities
An exciting array of hotel amenities and facilities await every guest at Grand Hyatt Taipei. They have a lovely heated outdoor swimming pool manned by an attendant to assist every guest's needs. It has a pool bar, and comfy day beds where guests could lounge while enjoying the swimming pool.
Other hotel amenities and facilities include a spa, fitness gym, business center, meeting and function rooms, shops, and other dining outlets. You may check out Irodori for Japanese dishes, Bel Air Bar and Grill offering grilled items, Yun Lin which features authentic Chinese cuisines and Pearl Liang for traditional Cantonese cuisines. For informal meeting with friends, you may also check out Cha Lounge for an exquisite afternoon tea or dine at the Lobby Lounge for light snacks along with coffee or tea.
Overall, we had a relaxing and luxurious stay at Grand Hyatt Taipei. Our room is so luxurious and elegant, the hotel staff are genuinely accommodating, warm and friendly, and the food at the restaurants are truly remarkable. Grand Hyatt Taipei is certainly a one-stop destination for quality hotel accommodation in Taipei.
I hope this will whet your appetite for a much-deserved trip to Taiwan. With a delightful place to stay and so much to see and do in Taipei, I'm quite sure you'll have a comfortable and luxurious stay at Grand Hyatt Taipei!
