Tango

Taipei


Just outside Exit 3 of the MRT, on a busy shopping street, the Tango pulls you into its plush, private world as soon as you enter the curtained lobby. Rooms vary from small with no window to large and bright. The nicer ones have whirlpool baths, entertainment sound systems, microwaves and warmed toilet seats. All offer hushed comfort.
