Lonely Planet review

It's the big Kahuna of Taiwan's hotels and a tourist attraction in itself. Since the opening of cross-Strait tourism ties, this 1970s reconstruction of the original 1952 Chinese-style high-rise has become a serious magnet for mainland tourists. With red columns and painted beams, the lobby is resplendent of 'Old Chinese Money'. Suitably spacious and decorated in old-style Chinese, rooms offering both city and mountain views are available. Recreation includes a golf driving range, tennis courts, year-round swimming, a fitness centre and sauna, and there are eight in-house restaurants.
