The Corner House

Taipei


Set back in a quiet lane, The Corner House offers modern, tasteful rooms – they call them serviced apartments – each with a little kitchenette and sofa space; some have minibalconies. There's a basement gym and a rather elegant path up to the reception area with Chinese character motifs.

The hotel puts on an eclectic spread for breakfast, sometimes including cheesecake!
