Capella Hotels and Resorts is set to make its grand entrance into Taiwan with the launch of Capella Taipei on April 1, 2025. Situated in the prestigious Dunhua North Road district, the ultra-luxurious urban retreat aims to set new standards in personalised hospitality, architectural excellence, and cultural immersion.

A Landmark in Luxury Hospitality
Nestled amidst Taipei’s vibrant cityscape, Capella Taipei offers 86 elegantly designed rooms and suites, including six exclusive accommodations with private pool terraces. The crowning jewel of the property is the expansive 228-square-meter Capella Suite, which provides stunning views of the iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper. The main pool offers an oasis of tranquility, framing uninterrupted panoramas of the city’s skyline.

Architectural Brilliance and Thoughtful Design
Designed in collaboration with Tokyo-based Mori Building Group, Capella Taipei embodies a “modern mansion” concept brought to life by renowned interior designer André Fu. The property seamlessly blends contemporary elegance with Taiwan’s rich cultural heritage, creating a refined sanctuary where light-filled spaces harmoniously connect with the outdoors. Century-old trees lining Dunhua North Road evoke the charm of European promenades, further enhancing the hotel’s ambiance of sophistication.

Curated Cultural Experiences
Beyond its opulent accommodations, Capella Taipei is committed to offering immersive cultural experiences through its signature Capella brand programmes:

The Living Room – A guest lounge where Capella Culturists craft bespoke experiences tailored to individual preferences, introducing guests to Taipei’s artistic and historical treasures.
Capella Curates – A collection of thoughtfully designed experiences that connect guests with the city’s master artisans, culinary maestros, and hidden cultural gems.
“Taiwan’s profound heritage has inspired every facet of this property, from its nuanced architecture to its intuitive hospitality,” said Cristiano Rinaldi, President of Capella Hotel Group. “Capella Taipei is a refined sanctuary where guests can experience the island’s seasonal beauty through curated architectural heritage tours, immersive culinary journeys, and explorations of Taipei’s thriving arts scene.”
