Japan’s Palace Hotel Brand expands to Taiwan
Independent Japanese hotel brand, Palace Hotel Co is embarking on its first-ever luxury project overseas
It will open Ambassador Palace Hotel Taipei in Taiwan.
The landmark Ambassador Hotel Taipei has closed to undergo a complete redesign.
Once razed and rebuilt, the brand-new hotel will be unveiled in 2028 as Ambassador Palace Hotel Taipei, managed by Palace Hotel Co., Ltd.
“Through this partnership, we will work together to take the Ambassador brand to ambitious new heights, just as we have done with Palace Hotel Tokyo,” said Daisuke Yoshihara, president of Palace Hotel Co., Ltd.
The Ambassador Hotel was the first privately owned luxury hotel in Taiwan when it opened in 1964.
“Undergoing this massive, six-year reconstruction will allow us to raise the bar on our products and services while further strengthening our legacy of the best of Taiwanese hospitality,” said Emmet Hsu, chairman of The Ambassador Hotel Co. Ltd.
Ambassador Palace Hotel Taipei is located in the Zhongshan district, a hub of culture and business known for its museums and galleries as well as vibrant dining.
The new property will debut with 106 rooms and suites.
Facilities will include a fitness centre, swimming pool, spa and events spaces.
It will house six dining venues including a bar on the hotel’s top floor.
UK-based G.A Group, led by Terry McGinnity, has been appointed to craft the hotel’s interiors.
The design firm was responsible for much of Palace Hotel Tokyo’s interiors.
