[2025 Taipei Attraction] Travel Guide for The Grand Hotel Taipei West Secret Passage (Updated May)

I have lived in Taipei for many years, but I have never had the opportunity to go to the Grand Hotel to explore the secret passages inside. With this two-day and one-night Taipei city tour, I came to live in the Grand Hotel. The secret passages are really interesting, and I followed the tour guide's footsteps. Step by step, we walked in and out of the secret passage. Unfortunately, we did not go to the direction of the slide, but it still satisfied our curiosity about the secret passage. The mystery and solemnity of the Grand Hotel can be fully experienced in two days and one night. It is a very worthwhile visit💖

I stayed at the Grand Hotel Yuanshan in Taipei! The exterior is very luxurious, like a palace. It is a historic hotel, and the vermilion exterior is particularly eye-catching👀 The room was spacious and comfortable. The elegant design made me feel special. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of dishes, and I was very satisfied with the Taiwanese cuisine! The restaurant and lounge in the hotel also had a great atmosphere, making it perfect for relaxing. I spent a luxurious time and it became a really good memory. I recommend it for special occasions or those who want to have a slightly luxurious stay! 📍Address: No. 1, Sec. 4, Zhongshan North Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei City 10427 #Spring 0 yen trip

In the 1950s, Taipei didn't have a single five-star hotel, which made it difficult for Chiang Kai-shek to host foreign guests. He wanted to build a "State Guesthouse," and he chose a site on the slopes of Yuanshan Mountain, by the Keelung River in Taipei. Chiang Kai-shek built Chinese palace-style houses and courtyards there, hoping to promote traditional Chinese culture to foreign guests with its solemn, magnificent appearance and elegant, exquisite furnishings. This later became the Grand Hotel Taipei. The lobby of the Grand Hotel is magnificent. In the center is a copper relief of the Duke of Zhou creating rituals and music, flanked by dozens of vermillion columns, with palace lanterns hanging high and ancient music playing. The lobby ceiling features a beautifully shaped plum blossom coffered ceiling. In the center of the plum blossom is a five-dragon playing with a pearl motif. The inside of the coffered ceiling is carved with 23 golden dragons and 16 phoenixes, creating an atmosphere of prosperity and good fortune symbolized by dragons and phoenixes. The Grand Hotel has 14 floors and 490 guest rooms. In addition to regular suites and business suites, there are four premier suites and one presidential suite. 🏨Grand Hotel Taipei 📍No. 1, Section 4, Zhongshan North Road, Taipei, Taiwan

The Secret Bar at the Grand Hotel The first time I came to the Grand Hotel, I was stunned by its Chinese exterior. During my visit, I went to the newly opened Secret Passage Bar to have a few drinks and chat with friends. Everyone there was very elegant and not noisy. If you have the chance to come to Taipei, you must visit this place!

Secret tour in Taipei Visit the Chiang Kai-shek Escape Tunnel, hidden in The Grand Hotel 🏯 The first 5-star hotel in Taiwan 🇼🇸 When driving past, you might think it's a Chinese temple. The secret tunnel was built so that Chiang Kai-shek and VIP guests could escape quickly if an attack occurred ✨ It's a slide as long as 74 steps, but they don't let you try it because it's too slippery to just walk and look. The tunnel is 85 meters long and you can walk through to Jiantan Park. The guide told us that when he wanted to escape, the guards would hug Chiang Kai-shek and slide down. When he got down, they would piggyback on his back and quickly take him out to the door. ✴ Adults 250.- / Children 6-12 years old 100.- ✳ Tour times: 10.00 / 14.30 / 15.30 hrs. —————————————————————— Must-try menu items at this hotel!
