Romantic getaways in Taipei

Don’t laugh, I’m serious. My boyfriend (American, never been to Taiwan) is coming to see me for Christmas and I’d like to find a nice hotel to hole up in for 3-5 days, including 12/24 and 12/25. Looking for a 4 or 5 star place that won’t break the bank, near MRT, clean, good service and amenities. Any recommendations?

Also, if there’s some other area (Kenting, etc.) that is great to see in December that you’d recommend instead, please let me know. Thanks!

you mean your MSN boyfriend? :smiley:

Do check out the Grand Hotel. They have an very elaborate pricing schedule that changes almost daily and weekly. You can get a nice room for a few thousand on the right days.

Call all the best hotels and find out if they have Christmas specials. You’d be surprised the deals you can get.

Love hotels? They offer excellent accommodation for a few thousand a night.

The link to 40 hotels I reviewed for Lonely Planet last year is down at the moment but when it is back up I’ll link and let you know a few recommendations.

What’s your price range?

Get a lunch box from a point & shoot and then sit on the levee gazing (or the ChongChung Bridge) into the DanShui river. Then go to an hourly motel in SanChung or LuZhou by scooter.

If you want a high class hourly motel - there is a new one in MuCha next to the ChengChi University. 40" flat screen TV with surround sound and a hot tub, and a good universal remote.

Nope! I got me a live one!

What’s a love hotel? Like one of those Japanese soapland thingies? Not my style. Thinking more like a Loews or W Hotel.
