This time I stayed in the Kimpton Deluxe King Room. Before I checked in, I received hotel information, traffic information and surrounding attractions information from the brand ambassador Ms. K. At the same time, I asked if there are other needs. We answered that there are children with you and enter the room. I immediately felt the hotel’s intentions. The baby crib, bathtub, and bottle sterilizer are all available, and the walls are more pleasing decorations. Although the little burgers don’t know how to appreciate them, they seem to be the small dolls and kaleidoscopes presented in the room. I was very happy. Later, I had to sleep with a little doll for a few days in a row.
Kimpton’s brand appeals to combine local cultural characteristics. Each hotel’s design style and restaurant menu are unique. You can observe the unique Taiwanese elements when you check in. The small Datong electric pot with tea bags, I believe it will be everyone’s will. The products that were recognized at first glance, the rest such as bathroom grid tiles, steel washbasin frames, meridian massagers, etc., plus the floral dolls and kaleidoscopes received by Little Hamburg, are all familiar things to Taiwanese. The elements are integrated in the interior design, which is quite a surprise.
When I checked in, I saw a welcome fruit plate, dessert and sparkling water on the table, so that adults and children could enjoy it happily. When I came back in the evening, I saw that the hotel provided bed service and refreshments, which was even more rewarding.The bar counter provides free capsule coffee and tea bags. Although alcoholic beverages and instant noodles are not provided free of charge, the hotel provides coupons, which can be used for paid drinks and food at the bar counter in the room, or exchanged for a glass of wine at the bar on the top floor. This is also quite flexible and useful. (🔎Reservation price and guest evaluation:agoda|booking.com)

👍Special recommendation: The Tavernist rooftop specialty restaurant
Kimpton is a pioneer in global boutique hotels. In addition to the hotel design with local culture, the most proud of it is the restaurant that provides a special menu. The restaurant on the top floor is called The Tavernist, which can be said to be a highlight of Kimpton Taipei. , Hired James Sharman as the culinary director. The New York Times hailed as the chef who truly defined modern cuisine. He also specially used Taiwanese special ingredients to design a series of special menus. After passing them to the restaurant chefs, everyone can taste them in Taipei. Creative cuisine combined with Taiwanese characteristics.
The Tavernist restaurant serves guests’ breakfast in the morning. It uses an a la carte set meal combination. There is no bar counter for self-service meal pick-up. However, the set meal includes bread, drinks, cheese and fruit. The portion is small but the style is complete. It is absolutely exquisite and elegant. , Even the exclusive baby seat for Little Burger is also very luxurious, probably afterBellagio Shanghai SuningAfter that, the most impressive seat style.
The biggest "surprise" encountered during this stay was that when we happily finished breakfast and were about to return to the room, we encountered the room card failure. After the software was unlocked through the counter background, the hardware contractor was immediately found to solve the problem. Toss around for 2, 3 hours.But also because of this accident, the service staff invited us to The Tavernist again for lunch. Combining Taiwanese specialties such as sweet potatoes, taro, pumpkin, etc., we tasted more amazing creative dishes and experienced the true Kimpton brand. The essence lies.
We love to try newly opened hotels. There are many unexpected situations in the early stage of hotel operation. We often see the problem of insufficient response ability of hotel service staff, but the training and response of Kimpton service staff can be said to be good. First class, will come to update the processing progress at any time to reduce the anxiety of the guests, and try to use the hotel facilities to make up for the guests, although it is a pity that the hotel does not have a children’s playroom or a paddling pool, but at this time the little burger gets a bottle of blowing While making toys, parents enjoy unexpected food.

▲ Come here to enjoy the long-lost bar time with discount coupons and small burgers in the evening.

✅Comprehensive evaluation: an accommodation experience that combines creative cuisine and unique design
Kimpton Hotel and Catering Group's first stronghold in Asia. It is located in the Dinghao business district in East Taipei where gourmet restaurants gather. The Tavernist restaurant attached to the hotel is not inferior to the cuisine. Should it be said that this is a restaurant that has been delayed by the hotel? ?However, the guest room design and service quality make people have a tailor-made sense of dignity, and even Taiwanese can feel the novel local elements, I believe that those who travel to Taiwan can also have a more surprising accommodation experience.
