This palace-style landmark with sweeping red columns is arguably Taipei's most photographed building, perched on Yuanshan hill above the city. Locals bring visiting relatives here as much for the history as the grandeur.
Expect classical Chinese architecture, garden grounds and skyline views; you can wander the grand lobby and grounds even without a room.
Local tip: Ask about the hotel's Cold War escape tunnels, which open for guided tours.
