Beitou Grand View Resort Hot Spring Hotel｜A 'Serene Poetic Retreat' in the Hot Spring Room

Visiting Beitou, the 'Holy Land of Hot Springs,' the most anticipated experience is soaking in a hot spring with a great ambiance! The hot spring rooms at Grand View Resort are crafted with 'light and shadow × greenery × desserts,' creating a 'triple healing experience.' After exploring the Thermal Valley, head straight here to instantly wash away travel fatigue. 🌿 A Healing Ritual Right at the Door ▪️ Semi-Outdoor Hot Spring Room: A Dialogue with Nature Choosing the 'Private Hot Spring Room' (NT$2000/90 minutes) is a wise decision! Push open the door to see green vines cascading down stone walls, with a 'Zen-inspired stone bowl' placed by the hot spring pool. Steam rises into the sky as you soak in the milky sulfur spring, gazing at the lush layers of Yangmingshan in the distance. Occasionally, birds chirp through the treetops, creating a 'meditative moment in the forest.' ▪️ Lighting Design: The Secret to Atmosphere At dusk, switch on the 'Starry Sky Mode'! Tiny lights sprinkle down from the ceiling, making you feel as if you're under the Milky Way. Paired with 'aromatic candles' (cedarwood scent) in the corner, close your eyes while soaking to enjoy the dual healing of 'rising steam + enveloping fragrance.' 🍮 The Perfect Pairing of Desserts and Hot Springs ▪️ 'Hot Spring Dessert Set' Delivered by the Butler Midway through your soak, a staff member gently knocks on the door to deliver 'brown sugar pudding + roselle jelly'! The pudding is silky with a caramel aroma, while the roselle jelly is sweet and tangy, refreshing your palate. Sitting at the small table by the pool, savoring these treats as the sunset turns the hot spring room amber—pure bliss! ▪️ Unlimited Drinks at the Mini Bar The hot spring room features a 'mini bar' offering free 'winter melon tea' and 'sparkling water.' Bring your own 'fresh lemon slices' to add to the sparkling water, and take a photo with the lush greenery outside the window. Caption it for social media: 'Life is worth it.' 🚗 Convenient Transportation Tips ▪️ Free Shuttle Service: A Time-Saving Magic Take the hotel shuttle from Beitou MRT Station (reservation required) and reach the foot of the mountain in just 10 minutes. On the return trip, inform the staff that you'd like to visit Beitou Market, and the driver will make a stop at 'Hot Spring Road.' After buying 'hot spring bamboo shoots,' hop back on the shuttle—time management at its finest! ▪️ Suggested Itinerary Before and After Soaking 1. Morning: Visit Thermal Valley (see boiling blue-green spring water) → Beitou Hot Spring Museum (photograph Japanese-style heritage) 2. Afternoon: Soak at Grand View Resort → Explore Beitou Market (recommended: 'A-Gei Bo' stuffed tofu with vermicelli) 3. Evening: Take the MRT to Tamsui Old Street (try 'A-Gei' and 'Iron Eggs') 💡 Essentials for an Atmospheric Hot Spring Experience ✓ Bath Salt Balls (recommended: 'Lush Bath Bombs' for a fragrant pool) ✓ Waterproof Phone Case (for 'steamy hot spring selfies') ✓ Silk Bathrobe (available for rent at Grand View Resort; off-white is the most photogenic) Conclusion: The hot spring rooms at Grand View Resort have taught me that 'soaking in a hot spring is not just about relaxation; it's a sensory feast.' From natural scenery to lighting and fragrance, from desserts and drinks to attentive service, every detail reflects the care for 'immersive healing.' Next time, I’ll bring my mom along so she can experience the romance of 'soaking in the forest + enjoying desserts.' This is the true essence of a 'filial piety trip.'
