Taipei is fast becoming a tourist hotspot in Asia as travellers flock here in droves to visit the many beautiful temples and, of course, take a trip to the top of Taipei 101. And in a city where the tourism trade is flourishing, it should come as no surprise that Taipei has more than its fair share of chic boutique hotels – bookable on Culture Trip.

Classing itself as a museum hotel, Palais de Chine is a luxury five-star hotel in Taipei located just a stone’s throw from Taipei Main Station and next to Q Square Mall. To say the décor is eclectic would be an understatement, as you can expect to find antique European furniture, carved eagles, and murals depicting mythical creatures. Nonetheless, this hotel still features all the trappings of the modern world with an outdoor pool and on-site gym being just some of the many facilities available.

The décor is incredibly modern with orange and white throughout, along with wall murals and art that guests could spend hours gazing at.
