I have stayed at Shangri La hotels in Hong Kong and Tokyo which are both absolutely superb so booked the same for my first visit to Taipei. Unfortunately I think my expectations were set too high from those experiences. It is a decent hotel but nowhere near the same standards as the chain's other hotels in Asia. The room I... More

I usually stay at the Grand Hyatt and still enjoy staying at it. However, this time I tried to Shangrai-La Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, and it was wonderful. The rooms are huge and my view was amazing. The staff is extremely friendly. The breakfast is great and better when you have a friend that is Diamond and you can go... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Shangri-La Far Eastern Plaza in Taipei for 5 nights in mid-May 2013 and I have to say it was one of the finest hotel experiences I’ve had.

Stayed at this Shangri-La late April 2013 for 4 nights. Tranquil and hospitable describe this place to the tee. The orchid scent all over the premise is just delightful. Maid service, restaurant(s) service, and bell service were top notch. The only little annoyance was the maids speaking to each other at high pitched tones early in the morning. The hallways... More

Another beautiful and tranquil Shangri-La Hotel. From the moment you walk in an breathe in the trademark Shangri-La scent, see the lovely flowers and are met by the most gracious staff you don't want to leave the hotel.

There aren't that many big business and tourist class hotels in Taipei, which is probably why the prices for hotel rooms are so expensive. The Shangri-la Far Eastern Plaza is slightly older, but the rooms are surprisingly modern, clean lined and of course extremely comfortable. I had a deluxe room with glass desk facing Taipei 101, the view was georgous,... More
