It cannot provide swimming pools, saunas and other facilities, as well as public space circulation and decoration features, although they are limited to the original architectural pattern. Compromise, but the extensive use of mirrors in guest rooms is the style of international design masters. The level of acceptance depends on the person. After all, not everyone wants to see mirrors when they get up, nor do they want to look at them when taking a shower, brushing teeth or squatting on the toilet. Having infinite clones of myself in the mirror makes me feel like I'm acting out the mirror maze scene in Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" at any time.

The spacious space is equipped with many sofas and recliners, which is very suitable for three or five friends to chat or business negotiations. All kinds of characteristic decoration and furnishings are quite worthy of repeated fun. This is the most attentive place.

How to get there by car? Transportation information and surrounding environment of Hezun Hotel
S Hotel Taipei is located on the famous boulevard in Taipei City, close to Songshan Airport. There is Taipei Arena Station on the Songshan Xindian Line of the Taipei MRT nearby. The walking distance is about 500 meters. There are many bus routes on Dunhua North and South Road. The hotel's location is quite convenient for foreign travelers arriving in Taiwan, especially tourists and business people who fly directly to Songshan Airport from cities in China and Japan.
Next to S Hotel Taipei is the Mandarin Oriental Taipei, which can be said to be the highest-rated five-star hotel in Taipei. S Hotel Taipei itself is positioned as a four-star boutique design hotel, renovated from a 40-year-old hotel. The old building has a business center and gym, but no swimming pool. It is suitable for business travelers who like to try new things, and it also meets the tastes of young independent travelers.
In-depth understanding: The brand story of Hezun Hotel
S Hotel Taipei was newly opened in 2017 and is run by actor S’s husband Wang Xiaofei. The hotel was named after S, making it the most topical new hotel in Taipei that year. In addition, the hotel design hired internationally renowned designer Philip. Managed by Philippe Starck, the hotel's attached restaurant HYG adopts a Nordic style and employs a chef from a Michelin restaurant to helm it, which are all gimmick selling points.
In addition to the big S artist status, which can add points to the hotel promotion, there are also many artists staying in to continue the topic, but the most important thing is the high-priced interiors and supplies of the hotel, which fully demonstrates the image of strong funds. The hotel is rented from Longyan. The Xihua Building of the group, the original FRIDAYS American restaurant has also ended its business. The large sum of money was originally aimed at grabbing high-priced Chinese customers. Now, of course, there are more ways to open up customer sources.
The positioning of Hezun Hotel as a boutique design hotel is not as stable and elegant as the usual five-star hotels. While creating a strong design style, it will inevitably bring about different opinions. For example, the large pearl necklace decorated on the gray exterior wall of the hotel may be considered grand and overbearing by some people. It was full of luxury, but every time Wendy passed by this place before, she always mistakenly thought it was the headquarters of a religious group. It looked more like a string of rosary beads.
