The Regent Taipei is a luxury urban retreat, and much like the cultural melting pot of the metropolis it stands tall in, it is infused with Chinese, Japanese and Western influences, giving it a sense of intrigue that is impossible to place. With 8 stunning restaurants inside, this might be your ideal epicurean getaway for the next time you’re in Taipei.
Located in the ZhongShan district of Taipei, the Regent is minutes away from key attractions, shopping destinations and the central business district. To arrive in style, you can request a personal pick up from the airport via one of their swanky BMWs, or travel by metro, as the hotel is conveniently located near the ZhongShan MRT.
Restore your peace in their lush rooms and suites, styled with soft, earth-toned furnishings, marble bathrooms and deep soaking bathtubs. Wrapped in the city’s skyline, look beyond the windows and witness the beating pulse of the urban jungle, colourfully aglow.
Lined with the world’s finest high-fashion boutiques, Regent Galleria is the largest shopping centre providing a range of upscale luxury brand shops within a 5-star hotel in Taiwan. It serves as a diverse shopping environment complete with accommodation, dining, retail therapy and leisure all in one fantastic venue.
Begin your epicurean adventure at Mihan Honke, where past a wall of antique sake barrels and long corridors lined with latticed wood, you’ll find private booths waiting to be filled with conversation and the glorious smells of shabu shabu and sukiyaki. Their Japanese hot pot cuisine is divine, and prepared to perfection. Spoil yourself with their Japanese A5 Wagyu Beef Striploin Hot Pot Set, or enjoy their US Prime Boneless Short Ribs Hot Pot Set. There’s even one with live crab, yum! If you’re big into seafood, they also have a selection of freshly prepared sushi to add to your meal, including their very own Chef’s Selection.
Sounds from the grand-piano fill the atrium at Azie in their east meets west fusion restaurant, serving fresh salads, sandwiches, gourmet pizzas, signature beef noodles awarded by CNN and more. Let your taste buds lead you towards what you desire as you enjoy the live music in this contemporary space.
For the hungriest of appetites, indulge in an International buffet at Brasserie of made-to-order pasta and noodles, succulent seafood, sushi and other culinary gems from around the world. Start with flavours of Chinese cuisine, then move on to the refinements of Italy and Japan, with a full view of the open kitchen.
For a more intimate dining experience, reserve one of the four VIP rooms at Robin’s Grill. This soothingly lit venue serves a distinguished yet simple menu of charcoal-grilled prime beef and freshly caught seafood, complemented by an extensive salad bar of organic ingredients and seasonal vegetables prepared for your enjoyment.
At Gallery, you will find a place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, and reset your balance with a freshly brewed coffee in hand. Or, say cheers with a specially crafted cocktail, with or without a light meal, in the ultimate casual hangout. On their weekend brunch menu, you’ll find classics like their Boston Lobster Lemon Mayonnaise Milk Toast, Truffle Omelette with mushroom and potato, as well as vegetarian delights.
Next up on your culinary adventure, visit Robin’s Teppanyaki, where Japanese tradition is fused with French flair in a teppanyaki meal presentation. Flames will dazzle you as your succulent meats and seafood are prepared tableside. Enhance your meal with their selection of fine wines in this classy establishment.
Also exuding an elegant ambiance, Silks House presents a fine dining elevation of Cantonese cuisine, with artfully plated seafood and steaming baskets of dim sum. Chinese calligraphy is etched on glass screens on a backlit wall, setting the stage.
Finally, positioned on the twenty-first floor, Lan Ting has Taipei’s bustling cityscape in full view, and maintains a calm, refined setting to enjoy the delicacies of Shanghai and Sichuan cuisine. They offer private dining rooms for added exclusivity, perfect for business meetings and small gatherings.
With so much on offer, you probably won’t even be able to see and experience all that Regent Taipei has to offer in just one visit, but hopefully your first one will come soon.
