Overlooking the serene Danfeng mountain landscape of the Beitou District on the northern outskirts of Taipei, Grand View Resort is a contemporary luxury hotel from the designer of Taipei 101. Floor-to-ceiling windows feature heavily, while outdoor pools maximise the health benefits of the area’s natural hot springs. The hotel has 66 stylish and spacious guest rooms, all equipped with a private terrace to make the most of those stunning landscape views. Woods and marbles combine to create a warm, relaxing environment, while bedroom linens are pristine and luxurious. Bathrooms are a particular highlight with independent hot-spring and cold-water plunge pools. The exquisite Grand View Suites have 109 square metres of living space and provide low-key and calming interiors complete with a four-poster canopy bed, separate living room and large balconies.

There is a choice of three restaurants - the Yong Cui Ting serves the finest Taiwanese gourmet cuisine and has an incredible panoramic vista of mountain views on three sides. The Continental Restaurant combines fresh local ingredients with delicate French techniques to create refined French cuisine. The Waterfront Tea House offers afternoon tea, lunch, and light evening meals and drinks with views of green mountain scenery. Relax with a pampering treatment in the Li Yang Spa or indulge in the outdoor natural spring facilities, including a private spa house, gorgeous open-air baths, and a twenty-metre swimming pool.
