The Grand Victoria Hotel makes an impression at every turn. From Victorian arches to graceful gardens to shimmering rooftop pool- you will want to explore every inch of the luxury on offer before setting your sights on an equally entrancing neighbourhood. Throughout the hotel there are nods to Victoriana- toile patterns adorn the walls- and a wrought iron style garden room hosts diners at No168 PRIME Steakhouse. But this hotel is far from stuck in the past. All rooms feature expansive beds- Illy coffee machines and Italian designed lighting while suites come complete with individual dry and wet rooms. Beyond the bedroom there are three restaurants to choose from and international calibre boutiques can be found in the heart of the hotel. If retail therapy is on your agenda- you do not have to go far. The expansive Miramar shopping and entertainment complex is a mere two minute walk away. For something more traditional- try the sensory delights of the Shilin Night Market. Or simply get lost amongst the labyrinthine lanes of Zhongshan district. A treasure trove of culinary treats- one off experiences and relaxing moments is yours for the taking in this bustling corner of Taipei. And once you have had your fill- it is back to the hotel for a cocktail by the pool. Grand Victoria Hotel is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
