Play Design Hotel

Top choice in Taipei


This hotel is a shrine to design. Each one of its six enormous bedrooms is meticulously put together. There's a Japanese room, a Taiwanese room, one dedicated to the art of tea drinking and another to science (a virus lampshade and petri-dish ornaments). For NT$100 you can even select items of furniture to place in your room. A totally unique experience.

The staff are warm and welcoming and very passionate about this project. Every detail has been considered, and the price reflects that. They do not provide breakfast but have hand-drawn maps of the surrounding streets showing where to eat and what to see.
