Capella Taipei: A Contemporary and Vibrant Urban Retreat.
An urban oasis in the midst of Taipei's lively Dunhua North Road, Capella Taipei is prepared to open in the winter of 2024, according to Capella Hotels & Resorts. Indulge in the perfect combination of urban vitality and tranquil elegance at this 86-key luxury hideaway, only minutes from the 101 area. Exquisiteness is not the only measure of luxury at Capella. Making meaningful storytelling a part of the process of creating genuine and purposeful travel experiences is key. Immersing oneself in the local culture, history, and environment brings each trip to life. The Living Room is a reflection of this dedication, which is felt across all Capella properties (current and future) and allows visitors to participate in the Capella Curates adventures that the Capella Culturists have painstakingly planned.
Cristiano Rinaldi, President of Capella Hotel Group, says on the latest Capella opening: "We're thrilled to unveil a new chapter of bespoke luxury in Taipei, a city that harmoniously blends cultural vibrancy with a burgeoning luxury market. Capella Taipei is not just a hotel; it's an invitation to immerse in a culture rich in heritage and to create memories that resonate beyond a stay."
Close to Songshan International Airport and Xingtian Temple, a venerated place recognised for its exquisite and traditional environment, Capella Taipei is nestled in a setting rich with cultural legacy. The hotel sits in the heart of Taipei's art and culture area, which is a tribute to the city's reputation as a modern art and cultural hub, thanks to its closeness to Taze-Neihu, Songshan Culture Park, and Huashan 1914 Park.
Capella Taipei's prime location next to Taipei Arena, a mecca for pop concerts and plays, gives the neighbourhood a contemporary vibe. Because of its closeness and Taipei's prominence in Chinese music, visitors may have a fully immersed cultural experience.
Capella Taipei offers a tranquil haven in the middle of the bustling metropolis. This resort stands out among Taipei's hotels thanks to its verdant surroundings and breathtaking views of the city and mountains. It was developed in collaboration with the Mori Building Group of Tokyo, Japan.
The idea for the hotel, which was conceptualised by André Fu Studio, came from André's own reflections on Taipei, a contemporary city that contrasts a vibrant urban environment with lyrical locale. André's vision is characterised by the integration of modern conveniences, lifestyle entertainment, and wellness into an urban setting that captures the essence of a getaway.
Capella Taipei is an innovative interpretation of the capital city it calls home that deftly blends contemporary design with the hotel chain's long-term goal of providing guests with an experience that is equal parts traditional, exploratory, unique, and surprising. Everything about it is exquisitely crafted, from the bold outside elements to the minute internal details, and it is imbued with Fu's own language of casual luxury, which is quite current.
“It is a re-telling of my personal journey discovering Taipei. Flaneuring around local neighbourhoods and wandering into the lush tree-lined DunHua North Road where the hotel fondly resides, I was absorbed with the poetic environment - it captures the feeling of an escape nestled within European boulevards, a soulful atmosphere that evokes an antithesis to the urbanity one might typically perceive Taipei.” says Andre Fu.
The Grill, the flagship restaurant at Capella Taipei, will use cutting-edge grilling, ageing, and smoking processes to create a seasonal menu influenced by French cuisine and incorporating sustainably produced, farm-to-table ingredients. The Patisserie serves gourmet breads and coffee roasted in-house, creating an atmosphere that is equal parts art gallery and bakery. A world-class Japanese omakase restaurant and genuine Cantonese food with hints of Taiwan round out the experience.
In addition, a two-story spot will shortly unveil some new bar-centric concepts in addition to a lively ground floor focusing on mixology.
On the upper level, you'll find Capella Wellness, a space that offers traditional therapeutic therapies and Capella's distinctive moon-themed products. There are four treatment rooms available to guests, as well as a fitness studio with the newest Technogym products and an outdoor heated pool.
