For most travellers, Hotel Metropolitan Premier Taipei is the first of these Taipei luxury hotels to check: at lookup time it had the highest review score of the eight 5-star hotels in our search, and it is 1.9 km from the city centre. If you want to stay as central as possible, compare Cosmos Hotel Taipei Main Station and Palais de Chine Hotel. If guest feedback matters more to you than location, Caesar Park Hotel Banqiao had the second-highest review score at lookup time.

Who this list is for

This guide is for anyone choosing a Taipei 5-star hotel for a short city trip who wants a clear shortlist instead of scrolling through dozens of listings. We searched for two adults, so the list suits couples, friends travelling together and business travellers best. Families can still use it, but should check room occupancy and bed setup on each booking page, because we did not search for children.

If you already have a particular hotel brand in mind, search for it directly. This list only covers hotels that came up in our search, and we don’t comment on hotels outside that data.

How we picked these hotels

We used Agoda partner search data looked up on October 25, 2026, for a two-night stay from November 24 to November 26, 2026, for two adults. We compared eight 5-star hotels from that search on review score and number of reviews at lookup time, distance from the city centre, whether breakfast was included in the searched rate, free wifi, opening and renovation years, and listed check-in and check-out times.

We then chose six hotels to profile in detail, each for a different reason: guest feedback, location, newer rooms or practical extras such as parking. The other two, Caesar Metro Taipei and Caesar Park Hotel, appear in the location and breakfast notes below.

This article does not quote prices. Rates change with dates and availability, so check the rate table on this page for current prices on your dates.

Hotel notes: six 5-star picks

Hotel Metropolitan Premier Taipei

At lookup time, this hotel had the highest review score in the group: 9.1 from 13,540 reviews. It is 1.9 km from the city centre, breakfast was included in the searched rate, and wifi is free.

Best for: couples and travellers who put guest feedback first but still want to stay close to the centre.

Caveat: our data did not include its street address, room count or check-in and check-out times, so confirm them on the booking page before you pay.

Caesar Park Hotel Banqiao

At lookup time, Caesar Park Hotel Banqiao scored 9.0 from 49,266 reviews, second only to Hotel Metropolitan Premier Taipei. It opened in 2018 and has 410 rooms. Breakfast was included in the searched rate, and the listing mentions parking, tour booking and dry cleaning.

Best for: travellers with plans in Banqiao, and those who care more about guest feedback than a central address.

Caveat: at 7.2 km from the city centre, it is the farthest hotel in this group, so allow extra travel time on sightseeing days.

Taipei Garden Hotel

At lookup time, Taipei Garden Hotel scored 8.8 from 18,041 reviews. It is on Zhonghua Road in Zhongzheng District, 2.0 km from the city centre, and was renovated in 2022. Breakfast was included in the searched rate, and the listing mentions complimentary parking, shuttle services and airport transfer booking.

Best for: travellers who want recently renovated rooms, and drivers who need parking.

Palais de Chine Hotel

At lookup time, Palais de Chine Hotel scored 8.8 from 12,638 reviews. At 0.7 km from the city centre, it is also one of the most central hotels in the group. It belongs to LDC Hotel Group, opened in 2010 and has 277 rooms. Breakfast was included in the searched rate.

Best for: couples and short-break travellers who want to stay central.

Caveat: check-out is 11:00 AM, an hour earlier than at most hotels here. If you have a late flight, ask about luggage storage, which the listing mentions.

Cosmos Hotel Taipei Main Station

Best for: couples who prefer a smaller, independent hotel, and travellers arriving by car.

Booking checklist

Before you confirm a room at any of these Taipei luxury hotels, check the following:

  • Free cancellation: check whether the rate is refundable and note the cancellation deadline. With a non-refundable rate, you may still have to pay if your plans change.
  • Taxes and fees: check whether the total shown includes taxes and service charges before you reach the payment step.
  • Room type: our data did not name a specific room type, so compare bed type, room size, view and maximum occupancy on the booking page.
  • Breakfast: make sure it is included in the rate you pick, not just mentioned on the hotel listing.
  • Check-out time: if you have an evening flight, choose a hotel with a later check-out or ask about luggage storage.
  • Current rates: check the rate table on this page for your dates, because rates change with dates and availability.
