Capella Taipei

Capella Taipei holds one of the city’s most coveted addresses, rising with quiet confidence above the energy below. European elegance meets Eastern-inspired texture throughout, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame the city’s famous skyscraper, Taipei 101, soaring above distant mountain silhouettes. The 86-room property brings together five distinctive dining venues, an art collection spanning over 350 pieces, a lunar-inspired spa, and a program of deeply immersive cultural experiences that make this far more than a place to stay.

Location

Set along the tree-lined Dunhua North Road in Taipei’s dynamic Songshan district, Capella Taipei sits within easy reach of the city’s main attractions as well as the most creative and culinary neighbourhoods. Songshan Airport is a five-minute drive away, while Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport is approximately 45 minutes by car.

Your Room

All rooms and suites are dressed in blond-wood walls, hand-painted De Gournay silk panels, marble bathrooms, and Eastern-inspired curio shelves that give each space a quiet cultural depth. For the most special stays, the Pool Terrace Suites are the headline act: sweeping private sanctuaries with vast terraces, plunge pools, jacuzzis, sunbeds, and outdoor dining areas that place Taipei’s glittering skyline as your personal backdrop. Those drawn to panoramic cityscapes from the comfort of a king-size bed will love the Premier Skyline King, where Taipei dominates the horizon from dawn to dusk.

Who It Suits

Capella Taipei suits every kind of traveller – couples seeking cultural depth, multi-generational groups drawn to a hotel that meets each generation on its own terms, and families with children who’ll find the property particularly well-suited to them. The Little Stars program places young guests at the center of the action, drawing them into the rhythms of Taiwanese life through play and hands-on discovery. Guided by a Culturist – the hotel’s aptly named staff guides – they might learn to greet the day in Taiwanese Hokkien before rolling up their sleeves to shape steamed buns, craft chocolate bars from premium Taiwanese cacao, or master the art of bubble tea, taking home a handwritten personal recipe as a keepsake.

Why We Like It

At the heart of Capella Taipei is the Living Room, where the hotel’s Culturists orchestrate moments of genuine connection between guests and the city. Mornings carry a particular charm: clay oven rolls, fried dough sticks, warm soymilk, and the gentle crackle of 1950s radio broadcasts create an unexpectedly transportive start to the day. When night falls, five exceptional dining venues come into their own, from Ember 28’s theatre of fire-cooking over open flame to the meditative omakase experience at Mizue, where sushi is crafted at a 30-foot solid hinoki wood counter. A short walk from the hotel, The Glasshouse is one of Taipei’s more compelling reasons to stay out late. Spread across three levels, it houses three entirely distinct concepts – Playback, Tilt, and Cooper – each with its own design and atmosphere. There’s nothing else quite like it on the city’s bar scene.

Sustainability

Capella Taipei’s environmental commitments run deep – into the building’s structure, its kitchen, and its community. The dining program draws on sustainably sourced, farm-to-table produce, and the hotel has forged meaningful partnerships with local artisan communities – commissioning teapots from Taiwanese craft villages, collaborating with local startups on custom kombucha, and engaging Taiwanese artists across its extensive art collection. These connections invest directly in the people and traditions that give Taipei its character.
