Opened in 2011, W brings a modern, urban chic that is now a well known trade mark. W Taipei is conveniently located in the heart of the cosmopolitan district of Xinyi, and is only a 12 minutes walk away from Taipei 101 as well as the Taipei City Hall Metro. During our countdown trip in Taiwan, we managed to get ourselves the Spectacular Room which comes with a gorgeous view of the Taipei 101, blessed with it’s well known breathtaking views of fireworks during the new year countdown.

Upon entering the vibrant Fabulous Room, the direct view of Taipei 101 WOWed us. It is fortunate to be assigned a great room despite the peak period of the new year count down.
