Sheraton Grande Taipei Hotel

After Sheraton's merger with the Marriott chain in 2018, expect some changes to this stodgy five star. Fringing Taipei's government district, this longstanding hotel, housed in a brown block next to Shandao Temple MRT station, blends Chinese and western aesthetics. There's top-notch service and a range of eating and drinking options including the two-star Michelin Sichuan-Hunan restaurant, The Guest House.
