Fodor's Expert Review Regent Taipei

With more than 500 guest room, the towering Regent might feel a little like a city-within-a-city, but the service is as swanky as the rooftop swimming pool (heated year-round, and with killer views across the city, making it the perfect place to unwind after a hard day's sightseeing). The rates—it must be said—are also sky-high. But what you get for your eye-watering bill is luxurious indulgence at its best, with spa and fitness facilities, on-site shops, and several bars and restaurants. Even the smallest rooms are huge, and come with desks and armchairs. And all rooms are, of course, lavishly furnished.
