Ambassador Hotel

Taipei


Crisp, contemporary and international in style, the 430-room Ambassador is a beautiful hotel that's popular with business travellers. There's blonde wood and marble throughout and an outdoor pool. The lobby, with its array of red lanterns, is particularly warm and magical.

Book using the hotel's website; it usually has the lowest prices and frequently has offers.
